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.
