Broccoli Crunch Salad with Bacon and Currants

Ingredients

• 5 cups broccoli florets
• 6 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup currants
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 3 center-cut bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

Preparation

1. 1. Steam broccoli, covered, 2 minutes. Plunge broccoli into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry.
2. 2. Combine mayonnaise and next 3 ingredients (through pepper) in a large bowl. Add broccoli, currants, onion, and bacon; toss well.
3. Tip: To avoid watery eyes while dicing an onion, peel it first, and chill it in the refrigerator before dicing.
