How do we make a nutritious broccoli salad?
With this specific broccoli salad, you may indulge a bit without worrying about any unsavory processed components, like, oh, processed mayonnaise.
Do not misunderstand me; I like mayonnaise in all its splendor. But the notion that it is contained in a jar and is made of “natural” materials doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in its ability to be “healthy” for me.
I came close to giving up on developing a better, unprocessed mayonnaise several times. But being the dog on a bone that I am, and after using many jars of olive oil, I was able to make my own healthier mayonnaise.
Get in my belly with healthy broccoli salad (broccoli, onion, and bacon) with homemade mayonnaise.
If you’ll allow me, I think broccoli belongs in every single meal. My fave is it. especially when roasted and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan. I have no problem eating the full pan of broccoli for supper. The truth is that I did it for over two years.
Recently, I’ve taken a break from broccoli and been fixated (crazy) with potatoes and sour cream instead. Oh, delicious. potatoes mashed? Better still.
Without the raisins, it tastes just like the salad I used to have on Thanksgiving as a child.
I loathe raisins. I don’t like the flavor of them, and they contain a lot of sugar. Don’t get along with raisins. If raisins are your buddies, feel free to include some of them. I have no doubt that they will value the affection.
Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, so we need to start planning the delectable meals that will be served! This recipe for a nutritious broccoli salad is deserving of a slot.
Naturally, along with our wholesome pumpkin pie recipe. We must have some pumpkin pie, after all. When will pumpkin season arrive? I am unable to lie. All things pumpkin are starting to appeal to me.
Option for this Healthy Broccoli Salad that is Vegetarian or Vegan
We have some choices for you if you are hosting vegetarian or vegan visitors.
Use egg-free mayonnaise and eliminate the bacon if you’re a vegan. Look in the vegan freezer section of your local grocery store; I believe you can find a perfect vegan bacon equivalent there.
Vegetarians may easily replace the bacon with a vegetarian option like the one mentioned above, or if they prefer, they can eliminate it altogether and add some raisins in its place.
