How To Make Your Bacon & Broccoli Salad:

1. Using a sharp chef’s knife and wooden cutting board, cut your broccoli into bite size florets.
   
   
2. Shred your carrots easily using a food grater.
   
   
3. Thinly slice your red onion using a precise paring knife.
   
   
4. Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium sized sauce pan. In the meantime, place ice cubes into a large bowl of cold water.
   
   
5. Place your broccoli florets into the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, until tender.
   
   
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from water, and place into the ice water.
   
   
   
   
7. When the broccoli has cooled, drain into a colander.
   
   
8. Heat a medium skillet on high heat and place your bacon in there. Cook quickly, using a solid spatula to move the bacon around so it does not stick to the pan. Then, crumble your bacon.
   
   
9. In your salad / presentation bowl, place the broccoli, carrots, onions, almonds, cranberries and bacon.
   
   
   
   
10. Ina separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and pepper with a small balloon whisk.
    
    
11. Pour your dressing over the broccoli salad and toss well. Serve your salad with serving tongs.
