Servings 5 servings
Calories 270kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 8 slices bacon cooked crisp, chopped
Keto-Friendly Sweet Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Swerve granular sweetener
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Whisk dressing ingredients together in a large mixing 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 bacon into the bowl over the broccoli salad dressing and mix together.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Best if able to refrigerate longer.
