Add in some sweet, dried cranberries and each bite becomes a wonderfully fusion of tastes. It is adaptable, so feel free to swap in your favorite nuts or seeds to add that perfect crunch.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, bell pepper and bacon bits. Add the thinly sliced red onion and sprinkle in your choice of sunflower seeds or nuts, along with the dried fruit.
Make the broccoli salad dressing: whisk together mayo, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
