Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Several turns of cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 bunch broccoli (about 4 cups chopped florets)

Soaking the red onion helps mellow its flavor, making it less overpowering.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste.
Feel free to add other ingredients like sunflower seeds or nuts for extra crunch.
