Preparation

Dressing: Whisk ingredients together in a suitable size bowl. Keep chilled.
Very lightly blanche the broccoli florettes in boiling water (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and immediately rinse cold water over the broccoli to stop the cooking process. Let cool. In a large bowl combine broccoli cole slaw, red onion, bacon bits, almonds and craisins.
Add cooled broccoli florettes. Toss dressing to coat.
May prepare in advance. Keep chilled.
