BROCCOLI SALAD | the perfect party salad recipe

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked paprika

Turkey bacon is lower in fat; smoked paprika adds flavor without meat.

Preheat the oven and place 8 slices of bacon on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Bake the bacon for about 15 minutes or until crispy.

Chop a large head of broccoli into bite-sized florets, yielding about 5 cups, and add to a bowl.

Dice about 1/3 cup of red onion and add to the bowl with broccoli.

Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel to dry.

Add 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, and 1/4 cup of goat cheese to the bowl.

Crumble the cooled bacon into the salad.

In a separate bowl, make the dressing by combining 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of yogurt.

Add 1 egg, 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup of neutral flavored oil to a stick blender and blend until emulsified.

Combine the dressing with the salad and mix everything together.
