1

Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2

In a cupcake pan, roll out the Pillsbury™ Butter Flake refrigerated crescent dinner rolls dough triangles. Be sure to cover the bottom and sides of each cupcake mold.
3

Bake the dough baskets for 10-12 minutes or until cooked and golden brown.
4

Remove from oven and let rest.
5

Steam the broccoli for 2 minutes. It should retain its bold, green color and be soft, yet crunchy on the outside. Once ready, pour into a container with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain and put in a clean container.
6

Mix the apple vinegar, yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, salt and pepper, to taste. Add the broccoli, bacon and red currants to dressing mix and stir to thoroughly combine.
7

Cover the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
8

Fill the baskets with the broccoli salad and serve.

Expert Tips

If you can’t find red currants, use golden or dark raisins instead.
Buy pre-cooked bacon bits to save even more time.
