I am a sucker for yummy Broccoli Salad and since I had a garden fresh head of broccoli that Jeanne sent home with me, I was craving this light side dish like none other.   Sadly, the recipe that usually gets passed around is always loaded with mayo.

Uh, yuck.  

So, I went on a quest to find a lighter version and combined 2-3 recipes to make my own healthier, guilt free broccoli salad.

It’s basically awesome and you should make it.

All the yummy ingredients, pre-dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli, chopped into bite size pieces
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 small box raisins
• 4 slices turkey bacon, crisped and crumbled
• Small container greek yogurt (5oz)
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 3/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• sea salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Directions

• Combine broccoli, onion, raisins, turkey bacon, almonds and pine nuts in bowl.
• In a small bowl whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper.
• Pour over veggie mix and stir to coat.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve.
• Enjoy!
