Broccoli Salad
I saw this recipe in a "regular" cookbook and thought it sounded really good! The original called for 1/2 cup raisins, but obviously that's a no-no! (maybe a little diced pear?)
Broccoli Salad 2 heads broccoli 1 medium red onion 8 slices bacon 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sugar (substitute Splenda) 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 cup pecans, chopped TO PREPARE: Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Peel the broccoli stems and cut into thin strips. Cut the onion into thin slices and separate into rings. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain. Crumble the bacon. Combine the mayonnaise, Splenda, and red wine vinegar in a small bowl and mix well. To assemble, combine the broccoli, onion rings, bacon, raisins and pecans in a large salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss gently to evenly coat. Chill, covered, until ready to serve.

OMG this is sooo good! And it's got broccoli!
This is a keeper, thank you so much Teri! |
Hi - The recipe I use has red peppers instead of onions, and adds sunflower seeds to the pecans. I like it a lot and it is great the next day too. I actually found a bacon dressing that was a little sweet that could be used in a pinch and has fewer calories (I watch them). I also sometimes make it with broccoli slaw - it is really fast that way.

I also make a varient of this. No nuts or raisins, but we add in a pile of shredded, 2 year old cheddar.
Oh baby.... Brobin |
ooh - the cheddar sounds good too. Do you still use the sweet dressing?
|
I make something similar but use half broccoli and half cauliflower. I use much less mayonnaise - a couple of tablespoons sweetened with a bit of Splenda and thinned down with some whipping cream (heavy cream).

I use real mayo with splenda, so the dressing is sweet, but the carbs are gone. :)

Salted, non-roasted peanuts work well instead of pecans too.
|
These leftovers were absolutely delicious! :)
|
ohhhhh this brocoli salad is yuuuuuuum but now i will have to make it the low carb way, lol.
|
How'd you make it, mysty?
|
I make it exactly like TeriDoodle makes it except leaving the nuts out. i haven't made it since i started LC'ing but now seeing this posting, it reminds me of this salad and I am sure to make it but substituting the sugar. :)
|
I made it again... for non L/C company! There was none left! T'was great! :)

This sounds so delicious I can't wait to try it. Has anyone who tried it added some kind of sweet fruit to substitute the raisins the original recipe called for?

Do you serve the broccoli rough?
I used to steam the broccoli first, but it doesn't sound weird, I'm gonna try it, sounds really delicious! |
