Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 0.5 medium (diced) red onion
- 6 slices (crumbled) cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup roasted cashews
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated monk fruit sweetener (or other low-carb sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, if needed, and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice half a red onion and add it to the bowl with the broccoli.
Add the crumbled bacon, roasted cashews, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, granulated monk fruit sweetener, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy it as a light, low-carb meal.
