Broccoli Salad
Although, to be honest, I have never been a big fan of raw broccoli. Personally, I have always preferred my broccoli to be steamed with butter and cheese sauce. However, my husband and kids prefer it raw. That being said I decided to try out this broccoli salad for a recent barbeque that required a dish to pass.
It sure wasn't long before I realized, I should have made a double batch of Broccoli salad. My Broccoli salad was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. This Broccoli Salad recipe combines bright-colored vegetables with raisins and nuts. Making the salad a crunchy dish with a balance of sweet mayonnaise dressing.
My family all loved the Broccoli salad with onions and raisins and have been asking me to make it again. Next time I make it, my plan is to make a low carb or keto version. Replacing the sugar with stevia or another sugar substitute of choice and leaving out the raisins, would make it low carb and keto-friendly.
