Nate and I often go to the grocery store near our house to grab lunch. They have an awesome deli area and one of my favorite side dishes to get is creamy broccoli salad. Its not exactly the healthiest salad, coated in a sugary mayonnaise dressing. I decided to make it for myself to make it a little lighter and thankfully it is still just as delicious!
This salad is made lighter thanks to fat free (or light) mayonnaise and the sugar is swapped out for SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, you’ll also need apple cider vinegar to give it a little bit of a tang. You’ll stir the dressing together and use it to coat your salad ingredients. The salad has broccoli, cranraisins, bacon, red onion and sunflower seeds.
This salad is perfectly creamy, crunchy and flavorful! Its perfect for a lighter dish at a holiday party, or great for a delicious dish to help start your new years resolutions!
