Instructions
In a big mixing bowl, combine broccoli florets, diced red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and bacon bits. Stir gently to distribute.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss to evenly coat every bit.
Transfer the salad to your pressure cooker insert, seal the cooker, and cook for 2 minutes under pressure to keep broccoli crisp-tender.
Release pressure slowly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. The salad is best served chilled or at room temperature. Avoid freezing the salad.
