BROCCOLI SALAD
I love the
addition of sunflower seeds. I didn't have any red onion, so I used regular and added some chopped orange sweet pepper for color. It was great!
3 cups broccoli florets, chopped (750 mL)
1/2 cup salted
sunflower seeds (125 mL)
1/4 cup chopped
red onion, OR chopped orange bell pepper (50 mL)
1/4 cup grated
Cheddar cheese, (50 mL)
(optional)
Mayonnaise
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
(125 mL)
1/4 cup sour cream
(50 mL)
1
tbsp sweetener (optional) (15 mL)
1
tbsp lemon juice (15 mL)
Lightly steam broccoli florets about 3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to medium bowl and
refrigerate, while preparing dressing.
Mayonnaise Dressing: In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour
cream, sweetener and lemon juice.
Assembly: In large
casserole dish, combine broccoli, sunflower seeds, red onion and Cheddar
cheese, if using. Stir in Dressing. Serve.
Helpful Hints: To
further reduce the carbs, omit sunflower seeds and red onion, if desired.
This salad makes a wonderful addition to a summer
picnic.
