Healthy Broccoli Salad (with Greek Yogurt!)

Cook the Bacon:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up!) Add the bacon slices and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until crispy. When done, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Then crumble into small pieces.

Blanch the Broccoli:

1. (Optional but recommended step!) Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt. Once boiling, add broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Then immediately transfer broccoli to a colander with ice and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Use a paper towel to dry the broccoli completely.

Making the Dressing:

1. To a small bowl, add the mayo, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vinegar and black pepper. Add a pinch of salt and whisk to combine.

Make the Broccoli Salad:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, raisins, red onion, and cooked bacon. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and stir until everything is well combined. Best if chilled in the fridge for at least an hour before serving!
