Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli slaw mix
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 can Water chestnuts
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cups Dried cranberries
Instructions
Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Let cool, then crumble into small pieces.
Drain the water chestnuts and chop them into small bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix, chopped water chestnuts, sliced green onions, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Fold in the crumbled turkey bacon, ensuring it is distributed throughout the slaw.
Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light, refreshing meal. Optionally, sprinkle additional sunflower seeds or cranberries on top for garnish.
