Broccoli Salad

I enjoy salads! They are always so fresh, and I love how creative you can get with a salad, plus, it healthy! This recipe is taken from my Keto Magazine and is only 422 calories.

HOW DO YOU MAKE BROCCOLI SALAD

To make this dish you will need:

• salt

• 3 heads broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces

• 2/3 cup mayonnaise

• 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp. freshly chopped chives

• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

• black pepper

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar

• 1/4 red onion thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds( I used sliced raw almonds)

• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• cranberries (optional)

I forgot to grab chives at the supermarket, so it wasn't in my salad, and I decided to add cranberries. Since cranberries is not part of the original recipe I listed it as optional, but it was a great add to the dish.

1. In a medium pot or saucepan, bring 6 cups of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water.

2. In boiling water, cook broccoli until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove florets from pot into the bowl of ice water. When cool, drain broccoli in a colander.

3. Prepare dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, vinegar, chives and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheddar, onion, almond, cranberries and bacon. Top with dressing and toss salad until ingredient are combined evenly coated in dressing. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
