I was looking for something healthy and cold that I could bring to work for lunch. I've grown to love Subway, but spending 6+ bucks a day blows. We don't have a microwave at work, so my options are limited. Luckily on Pinterest, I found this great recipe- Broccoli Salad!
What you need:
- 1 head of broccoli, stems removed and florets cut into pieces
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup organic raisins
- 3/4 cup "clean" mayonaise
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey or other sweetener of choice
- 1/4 roasted, no salt added sunflower seed kernels
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Of course I tweaked this a bit. I was trying to go as cheap as possible, so instead of buying bacon and sunflower seed kernels, I decided I was going to use what I (thought) I had, Salad Toppings. You can find this in the salad dressing area, it's a mixture of sunflower seed kernels, bacon bits, and a few other yums to go on top of a salad. But when I got home, I realized I didn't have this like I thought so I did without. I also didn't have raisins and I'm not the biggest fan, so I did without those too.
Preparation:
-In a small bowl combine mayo, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
-In a large bowl combine broccoli, bacon, onion and raisins.
I decided to top with the Hemp Seeds :)
-Gently stir in the mayo dressing, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve immediately!
This is so so good and makes you feel good!
