Mayo-Free Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

10/20/2014

   Good Monday morning to ya.
   I hope everyone had a great weekend and are now ready for a new week! 
   I thought I would share a really great salad that you can make early in the week, and eat for the rest of the week! It's a great little salad to pack away in lunches, or to add a scoop of extra veg at dinnertime.

Mayo-free Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 Ripe avocado, cubed
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp real maple syrup
  • 1 Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Cups broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 Cups cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 Red bell pepper, cut into nice small pieces (about 1/2 inch)
  • 4 Pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional) You can also use more than 4 pieces if you want! 
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Method: 

  1. In a large bowl, squish up the avocado with a fork, then whisk together all the ingredients with the avocado, except the broccoli and cauliflower (& bacon, if using). 
  2. Add the broccoli and cauliflower to the bowl, and using 2 large spoons, toss with the dressing until everything is happy together. 
  3. Add the bacon (if you're using some), and give one last stir. Taste the salad, and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it!

   My girls really loved this salad, even picky picky Abby. Thumbs up! 
   Adam liked it too, despite his rather strong dislike of vegetables, though e is willing to try anything with bacon in it! I didn't bother giving any to Caleb who said, "Caleb will not eat crunchy broccoli! Crunchy broccoli is brains!". Okey dokey, I can't argue with that I guess.
   Well, enjoy Monday!
