I am not sure how many of you are like us and consider the Super Bowl another "Food" holiday. You know... one of those holidays that you start talking about and planning the menu for months in advance.... Well, we do. We have some traditional items like wings, chips and sliders, then you always try a few new things too. I love a large variety of salads and one of my favorites is Broccoli Salad. This year, since I am focusing on reducing my calorie counts. This is one of those salad that I have been able to make over and yet been able to save the integrity of the yummy taste.
Ingredients
4 cups small broccoli florets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup frozen sweet peas
1 cup chopped green or red onion
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese (grated)
1/4 cup salted sunflower seed kernels
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
(You can add 1/2 cooked turkey bacon. It only adds 25 more calories to the whole salad)
Preparation
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine mayonnaise and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk.
Pour dressing over broccoli mixture, and toss well.
Chill for 1 hour.
Side note: This salad 195 calories, original salad 328 calories.
