Servings: servings

8 oz bacon
2 packages Ocean Mist Farms Season & Steam Floret Medley or 1 medium head of broccoli and 1 medium head of cauliflower
Salt & pepper to taste
1/4 small red onion thinly sliced
3/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
3/4 cup sunflower seeds

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and crumble. Set aside.
Open the Ocean Mist Farms Season & Steam Floret Medley packets and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal, shake to disperse the seasoning, then microwave for 2 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, cutting any large pieces of florets into bite-sized pieces.
If using whole heads of broccoli and cauliflower: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt the water. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the florets for 60 seconds, then run under cold water to stop cooking. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add onion, bacon, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds to the florets.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad, then toss together to coat evenly.
Chill before serving.
