Healthy Broccoli Salad

INGREDIENTS

Broccoli Salad

• 1 broccoli head, approx 5 cups of florets
• 8 slices bacon
• 1/3 cup red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled

Broccoli Salad Dressing

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Add the bacon slices to a parchment lined baking tray and cook for 15 minutes or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel to dry and cool.
2. While the bacon is cooking, slice off all the broccoli florets and make sure they're in bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl along with the red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and goat cheese.
3. To make the dressing, add the mayonnaise and yogurt to a small bowl and stir together. Add the dressing to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.

TIPS

• Make sure you've sliced the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. It makes it far easier to eat that way.
• If you're wondering what to do with the broccoli stem, spiralize it! Yes, you can totally spiralize a broccoli stem, just as you would a zucchini. It's delicious! And while I don't show you how to spiralize a broccoli stem on my Spiralizer Beginner's Guide video, you can still get a little inspiration from the video.
• If you've never cooked bacon in the oven before, make sure to read my recipe post and watch my video. Whenever I'm cooking a whole package of bacon it's definitely my favorite method.
• I also have recipes for homemade mayonnaise and homemade yogurt, but of course, you can buy these from the store as well.
