Cranberry Almond Broccoli Salad

[rickismom]

This salad is Diabetic friendly, Gluten free, soy free and delicious

In a large mixing bowl combine:
1/3 c mayonnaise (no miracle whip)
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt (optional, I use this amount of mayonnaise)
1/4 tsp each salt & black pepper

Salad:
4 cups of raw broccoli florets, rinsed and dried with a towel
1/3 c chopped red onion (rinse in cold water if too strong)
1/3 c chopped red pepper
1/3 c slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 c reduced sugar dried cranberries
4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped or crumbled

After combining dressing ingredients, add the salad ingredients and mix well.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour for flavors to absorb. Enjoy!

RM, I'm making a keto one this week too!
It has raw broccoli, blueberries, cubed mozzarella and walnuts. I'm using the avocado mayo I bought as a dressing.

I like the sound of both salads, but I would have to blanch the broccoli at least.

Here's the recipe I have.
Subbing the mayo, sweetener and vinegar with the salad dressing.
Hope you don't mind me sharing in your thread, RM.

I made it and it's delicious.
However, the blueberries left a slight tinge of colour on the cheese ... It's ok though lol

Looks delicious! I’m allergic to walnuts so I’d substitute pecans or almonds…..or even macadamia!

I'm not allergic to any nuts, thank goodness because I love them.
