If you have ever tried Creamy Bacon Broccoli Salad you know it can fall victim to one of the biggest crimes in salad-dom – drowning in dressing. Then you add the nuts and bacon and this “healthy” salad is not so healthy any more.
I trim it down by using yogurt in the dressing and cutting back on the bacon and nuts – trust me, there are still plenty in there. I like the broccoli raw, but if it is too crunchy for you consider blanching it for a few minutes (no more than that!)
