BROCCOLI SALAD WITH CASHEWS LOW CARB
This is a cold salad with a lightly sweetened dressing. I created it after sampling a similar salad at a party. I made it "kid friendly"- no onion, nothing really strong in it. As a result, my kids love it- want it in their lunchboxes, etc... It is easily modified by using optional raisins, real sugar instead of artificial sweetener, using peanuts instead of cashews.

Steps:
- In a good size pot (6 quart or larger) of boiling water, place the florets of broccoli and cook until water just reaches a boil again. This will result in tender-crisp broccoli.
- Once water reaches a boil, remove broccoli from heat and dump into a colander.
- Douse with cold water to stop the cooking.
- In a bowl, mix the mayo, cream and Splenda.
- Stir in the nuts and bacon (and optional raisins).
- Lightly toss in the broccoli.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper, a little extra mayo, Splenda or cream if needed.
- Refrigerate.
