The sweet and tangy dressing is our favorite part of this salad. And it's an easy healthy version. How? The salad dressing is made with Greek yogurt (no mayo!). Sweetened with honey (no refined sugar!). How does it taste? Delicious! You'll love it!
What Goes In This Recipe - Fresh broccoli - Red Onion - Bacon - Parsley - Pumpkin seeds - Greek yogurt - Lemon juice and zest - Honey - Salt and pepper
Add the Greek yogurt dressing to the broccoli mixture and toss until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Right before serving, give the salad a good stir. Top with roasted pumpkin seeds.
You can add a small amount (¼ cup) of dried cranberries for added sweetness. You could also add ½ cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese. Use fresh chopped cauliflower instead of the broccoli (or use a combination of both). No need to blanch the broccoli before using it. But you may want to give the fresh broccoli a rinse before using it if it isn't already pre-washed. Broccoli Bacon Salad goes with just about anything! Pairs well with Red Snapper, Cheeseburgers, or Skillet Chicken Thighs.
