Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup full fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweetener I used a monk fruit and erythritol blend.
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons red onion minced
- 3 tablespoons sunflower nuts
- 1/2 cup thick cut bacon cooked and crumbled
- 6 cups broccoli florets washed and cut into small, bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweetener, and apple cider vinegar. Add additional sweetener to taste, if desired.
- Add the onion, nuts, bacon, and broccoli. Mix together to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Toss all the ingredients together just before serving.
Notes
- Sugar may be substituted for sweetener, but it will not be low carb, sugar free, or Keto anymore.
- You can adjust the ratio of mayo, sweetener, and vinegar to taste. It's a very forgiving salad.
- Broccoli stems may be used. I cut them into small, bite sized pieces.
- This salad lasts 7-10 days in the fridge. It will get a little bit softer with each passing day, but I find it still tastes great.
- If desired, you may add some craisins or small, diced apple. (This will add sugars and carbs, making it not Keto anymore.)
- For convenience, I use pre-cooked, crumbled bacon purchased in a bag at Costco or Sam's Club.
- This salad has good protein and may be served as a main dish for lunch. I like to have mine with grilled chicken for a healthy meal!
- Some people enjoy adding small cubes or shreds of cheddar cheese to this recipe. Cheese may be added to this recipe and it will stay Keto/low carb.
