Savory Fresh Broccoli Salad Meal Prep for Crunchy Weekdays

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium jalapeño
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, usually about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Let cool slightly and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, discarding tough stems. Dice red onion finely. Finely chop the jalapeño for spice.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, diced red onion, jalapeño, and sunflower seeds. Add crispy bacon pieces and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing thoroughly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Pour two-thirds of the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Divide the salad into meal prep containers, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to five days.

Notes

  • Use fresh, tight broccoli florets without yellow spots.
  • Can swap sunflower seeds with chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.
  • Replace bacon with tempeh bacon for a vegetarian option.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese with crumbled feta or omit for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust jalapeño for desired spice level.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • Can substitute apple cider vinegar with lemon juice.
