Low Carb Broccoli Salad - Low Carb

This low carb broccoli salad is truly divine.Most broccoli salad recipes call for sugar in the dressing, but I decided to go for savory. Which makes it low carb friendly and better for you and me.


The best part about this recipe is that the dressing uses mayonnaise as a base. You’re probably wonder why and it’s because most mayonnaise has a whopping 0 carbs but pack a tasty punch without over consuming the other flavors.

Most broccoli recipes suggest to serve immediately, which you could, but refrigerating it for at least an hour gives the flavors ample time to combine. A great part of this broccoli salad is that it makes a good base for any customizing you’d like to make like adding in ham, sunflower kernels, or cashews.
