A delightful and festive broccoli salad with a creamy dressing, perfect for gatherings.
Combine the broccoli, bacon, green onion, and pecans in a large bowl.
Ensure the broccoli is fresh and crisp for the best texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, and pepper until smooth.
Use a whisk to ensure the dressing is well combined and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy.
Garnish with additional toasted pecans for a decorative touch.
