Ingredients (11)
- 8 oz broccoli
- 2 oz red onion diced
- 1 oz baked bacon crumbled
- 1 oz dried cranberries
- 1 oz sliced almond
- 1 oz cashew
- 1 oz walnuts
- 4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1
Bring a pot of water to the boil. While you wait, cut the broccoli into florets. Add 8 oz broccoli florets into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute.
2
Remove and immediately soak the broccoli florets in the ice water until cool. Drain them well.
3
In a small bowl, mix together 4 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/8 tsp salt and 4 tsp lemon juice. Stir well until smooth.
4
In a large bowl, add broccoli florets, 2 oz red onion, 1 oz bacon, 1 oz dried cranberries, and all the nuts (1 oz sliced almond, 1 oz cashew, 1 oz walnuts). Drizzle the dressing over the broccoli combination and toss all the ingredients.
5
Let the salad cool (I like to let it sit in the fridge for an hour but this is not necessary) and serve.
