This broccoli salad is topped with a creamy Greek yogurt dressing and raisins, sunflower seeds, and bacon.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sharing a recipe inspired by one of my life’s most important women: my mom.<\/span><\/p>\n

My best memories of my mother are in the kitchen. She was always cooking something and I was often in the kitchen… I was probably just stealing bites from her creation, but I like to think I helped!<\/span><\/p>\n

She taught me to cook and ignited my passion for food and cooking. I’ll always be grateful.<\/span><\/p>\n

We haven’t seen each other much this year, which has been difficult. I can’t wait to reunite with you, Mom!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve always loved recreating childhood dishes, but now I’m even more addicted! It allows me to relive special moments and stay connected to my family even when we are separated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing up, my mom made a broccoli salad for every occasion. I’ve already shared a vegan broccoli salad with a creamy cashew dressing, but I recently craved the classic version. It’s just like the broccoli salad I grew up with, but lighter!<\/span><\/p>\n

After one bite, I was transported back to my childhood, helping my mother prepare this salad for a family barbecue. It’s so like hers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Broccoli Salad I<\/span>ngredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Broccoli florets, pre-chopped<\/strong> or whole heads In either case, chop the florets into bite-sized pieces. Making the salad easier to eat and distributing the dressing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • I used Simple Truth pork bacon,<\/strong> but turkey bacon would also work well if you want to cut back on the fat.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It’s okay to use raw or dry-roasted sunflower seeds<\/strong>. Roasting adds flavor and crunch.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • I love Simple Truth raisins.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Red onion<\/strong> \u2013 adds color and onion flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Greek yogurt<\/strong> replaced mayo to increase protein and reduce fat.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Apple cider vinegar \u2013<\/strong> I use apple cider vinegar for salad dressing because of its health benefits and flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Honey or maple syrup – <\/strong>A touch of sweetness to balance out the other ingredients.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A good salad dressing needs sea salt and black pepper.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Recommendation:<\/strong> I love Kroger’s Simple Truth products. One of their most popular products is Simple Truth, a natural, organic line free of 101+ artificial preservatives. So you know exactly what you’re getting!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Changes & Notes<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Raw broccoli<\/strong> \u2013 Use only fresh, raw broccoli. No frozen or cooked broccoli in this recipe! Try this roasted broccoli quinoa salad for a salad with cooked broccoli.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Version vegetarian<\/strong> – Vegans can omit the bacon or use tempeh or coconut bacon.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Dairy-free version – <\/strong>Use dairy-free Greek yogurt. When I need a dairy-free option, I use coconut milk yogurt. Like Greek yogurt, it works well.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • It may be optional to add cheese<\/strong>, but my mom’s version does not, so I am sticking with it! If you want to add cheese, use shredded cheddar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • 1\/8 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/li>\n
      • sprinkle of garlic powder<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Instructions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Cook bacon:<\/strong> If you haven’t already, cook bacon as directed. I prefer to bake it, but it can be made in a skillet on the stovetop or in the microwave.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Dressing<\/strong>: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are mixed into the yogurt in a small bowl.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Combine:<\/strong> Stir in broccoli, sunflower seeds, raisins, red onion, and bacon.<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. Cover and refrigerate:<\/strong> Preserve for 3-4 hours before serving. This salad tastes better after it has sat overnight.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Broccoli Salad Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Refrigerate this broccoli salad for up to five days. It’s normal for the raisins to absorb liquid or for the sunflower seeds to soften. It’ll still be tasty.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Notes<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F for baking bacon. Place the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Cook for 20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Then transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the bacon grease.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
