Preparation Steps

Start by washing your fresh broccoli thoroughly. Trim the florets and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure a great crunch.
Core the Honeycrisp apples and dice them into uniform pieces. Thinly slice your red onion and add to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over your chopped fruits and veggies. Crumble the cooked bacon over the top.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup until smooth.
Pour the creamy dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
