🔪Instructions

At the bottom of the post, you will have complete step-by-step instructions.

🧾Substitutions

• You can use sugar or Stevia as a replacement for the sugar.
• You may want to decrease/increase the amount of vinegar and mayonnaise, depending on your personal taste preference.
• If you don’t have raisins, try dried cranberries, grapes or dates instead.
• When I change the mayo for fat free Greek yogurt. I change the pork bacon to turkey bacon and reduce the raisins and the sunflower seeds. This brings the salad down to 3 points on my plan.

📖Variations

• No mayo – make sure to look at our Bacon Broccoli Salad with no Mayo.
• Sweeter – to make this a bit more sweet, add in 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Spicy – add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
• Feel free to add nuts such as almonds or cashews.
• Add apple. The kids love this Broccoli Apple Salad.
• Cheese is another great addition to this recipe.

🍽Equipment

• Bowl
• Spoon
• Knife

🍶Storage

Refrigerator: Store the leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to serve. It should stay fresh for up to four days.

Freezer: Not recommended.

🔎Top Tips

1. Use fresh ingredients. You want the broccoli to have a nice bite to it
2. Make the recipe ahead. It always tastes better as the ingredients have a chance to blend together.
3. Make a big batch. Ours disappears fast.
