Marinated Broccoli Salad

• Kosher salt
• 6 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

1. Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water and a large bowl of ice water.
2. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water until tender-crisp and bright green, about 1 minute.
3. Drop the broccoli immediately into the ice water to stop the cooking.
4. Drain, and dry well.
5. Whisk together the honey, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
6. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking to emulsify.
7. Add the broccoli, bacon, red onion, almonds, and cranberries, and toss well to combine.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and let the salad marinate and chill for 2 hours before serving.
