BROCOLLI SALAD



Well since Monday I have been on my 30 day no junk food diet! So my carb loving self has been trying to stay away from pasta, bread and mashed potatoes.  I ran across this recipe and looked too good not to try! It was wonderful!! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.

  • 1 head broccoli, stems removed and florets cut into pieces
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled 
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup  mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup roasted no salt added sunflower seed kernels
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:
  1. In a small bowl combine mayo, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.  Mix well and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine broccoli, bacon, onion and raisins.  Gently stir in the mayo dressing.
  3. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Today I had a girls' night, invited 5 girlfriends for supper and prepared salmon in dill sauce. 
Must make it regularly, because it is very simple and healthy.
This recipe is more complicated and a bit different, but I can give it a try, for a change.

This recipe is more similar  to the one I made.
