Skinny Broccoli Salad
Description
The salad starts by mixing fresh chopped broccoli, diced red onion, sunflower kernels, juicy raisins, and crisp bacon pieces. The Greek yogurt dressing, lightly sweetened with sugar and balanced with white vinegar, adds a creamy and tangy layer to the bite. The salad is tossed evenly ensuring the dressing coats each ingredient without overwhelming the natural flavors.
This salad is best served immediately to maintain the crispness of broccoli and the crunch of bacon and seeds. It can be refrigerated briefly but may require extra dressing to moisten if stored for later serving.
Ingredients
- 1 broccoli chopped into small pieces, medium head
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds kernels
- 1/4 cup raisins or 1 (1 oz) box
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 TB sugar
- 1 1/2 TB white vinegar
- 3-4 lices Bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
Instructions
- Combine broccoli, sunflower kernels, raisins, and bacon in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Stir together Greek yogurt, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Pour over the top of broccoli mixture and stir evenly to coat.
- Tastes great when served immediately. If you need to refrigerate it for later, you may want to prepare a bit more of the dressing to add in case it gets a little dry.
