Servings 5 servings
Calories 270kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup my pickled red onion recipe or raw diced
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 8 slices bacon cooked crisp, chopped
Keto-Friendly Sweet Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or see swaps above
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp Monk Fruit Allulose sweetener optional
Instructions
- Whisk dressing ingredients together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- If your broccoli florets are large, cut them into small pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling add salt and throw in your broccoli florets. Blanch for 4-5 minutes until it is crisp-tender broccoli then add to a bowl with ice water for an ice bath. This will keep the broccoli bright green.
- Drain broccoli in a colander to remove excess water. You can also dry the broccoli with paper towels as well. If the broccoli is wet the dressing won't absorb as well.
- Place the broccoli, onion, sunflower seeds and half of the crispy bacon into the bowl over the broccoli salad dressing and mix together.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. To serve, add the rest of the crispy bacon on top. Best if able to refrigerate longer.

Notes
6 net grams of carbs per serving My original recipe included Swerve sweetener in the dressing but decided it wasn't really needed when I made it recently so now it's optional.
