Chopped Broccoli Salad

Need a new salad recipe to whip out for the forthcoming Thanksgiving festivities?  

Then lucky you.  I have just the thing.

I consider this a bona fide winter salad, since the ingredients are tasty and available year-round.  Though broccoli may not pop into your mind as the most auspicious of vegetables, I can wholeheartedly recommend this salad as a family favorite and crowd pleaser.   

Fresh crunchy broccoli, smokey bacon, cranberries that lend both tart and sweet, sunflower seed nuttiness and a couldn't-be-easier light creamy dressing.  Try this one, you'll be mighty thankful you did.
