Steps

Chop8 min
florets to thumbnail size, stems peeled and diced
- broccoli
smaller than instinct suggests — raw broccoli's whole salad viability depends on piece size, and the peeled diced stems go in too, sweeter than the florets as this catalog keeps insisting
Whisk2 min
dressing: mayo + vinegar + honey + salt + pepper
the sweet-tangy balance the dish is named for — tasted against a floret, because raw broccoli mutes dressing the way cold pasta does
Fold3 min
everything except half the bacon and almonds
broccoli + onion + cranberries + cheddar through the dressing, with half the crunch held back — then at least an hour cold, better overnight: the marinating window where the dressing takes the raw edge off the florets is the salad's secret schedule
Top2 min
reserved bacon + almonds at serving
the held-back crunch scattered on at the table, still crisp against the softened salad — the two-stage crunch deployment that every layered-texture dish in this catalog keeps rediscovering
