Ingredients
 

  • 5 cups fresh broccoli, cut into florets
  • 4 ounces pancetta, diced
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the pancetta in a small skillet, then drain on paper towels while you prepare the broccoli.
  • Heat a saucepan to boil, then add in the broccoli and boil for 1 minute. Remove the broccoli and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. This helps stop the broccoli from cooking and also sets the bright green color. Allow to drain and dry while you make the dressing.
  • Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and ground black pepper into a small mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until combined, then set aside.
  • Add the broccoli into a large mixing bowl along with the dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, red onion and pancetta.
  • Pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine and allow the flavors to meld in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until you’re ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

If you want to cut down on the sugar or if you are eating low carb, use low sugar dried cranberries and sugar-free honey instead.
