BROCCOLI SALAD - DIABETIC FRIENDLY!



Broccoli Salad - Diabetic Friendly! image

This is a great salad for a family gathering. Easy to make and since I follow a low sugar and low fat diet, I just modified an old recipe to suit my needs. * I ALSO HAVE A COSTCO MEMBERSHIP AND I BUY THE BAG OF BROCCOLI FLORETS AND CRUMBLED BACON.

Categories     Potluck

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups broccoli florets, bite size
1 large red onion, diced
2 cups crumbled bacon
1 cup ultra low-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
2 tablespoons vinegar
sunflower seeds
cheddar cheese
flax seed

Steps:

  • Mix together the broccoli, onion and bacon and set aside. In a separate bowl mix together the mayo, splenda and vinegar. The amount of brown sugar blend can be adjusted to suit your taste. Depending on the day I will use anywhere from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. This dressing will soak into the broccoli and soften it a bit. My family and I prefer to mix it about a half hour before serving, allowing it to soften the broccoli yet allowing it to still be firm.
  • I often mix flax into the salad for the added health benefit. Hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to play with the additional toppings. Making a recipe your own is sometimes the best part!
