Vegan Broccoli Salad with Dried Cranberries

This sweet and savory Vegan Broccoli Salad with Dried Cranberries is perfect for a picnic, potluck or party because it can be served at room temperature.

I think Vegan Broccoli Salad with Dried Cranberries is probably one of my favorite ways to eat broccoli. It is one of the few times that I eat broccoli raw. It's one of those vegetables that I prefer cooked.

I have been making this salad for years, but I haven't had it for a long time. Since it has been incredibly hot here in Tucson, I have been craving salads a lot more. What better time to make a vegan broccoli salad!

This salad has all the makings of a great salad in my book. It has sweet and savory components, and it packs a lot of crunch.

Dried cranberries add a touch of sweetness, and almond bacon adds a sweet smoky flavor. I made the dressing with unsweetened plain coconut yogurt to keep this salad on the lighter side.

This is perfect for a potluck or party because it can be served at room temperature.
