BROCCOLI SALAD WITH CASHEWS LOW CARB



Broccoli Salad With Cashews Low Carb image

This is a cold salad with a lightly sweetened dressing. I created it after sampling a similar salad at a party. I made it "kid friendly"- no onion, nothing really strong in it. As a result, my kids love it- want it in their lunchboxes, etc... It is easily modified by using optional raisins, real sugar instead of artificial sweetener, using peanuts instead of cashews.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb fresh broccoli florets
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped coarse
1/3 cup cashews, cut coarse
1/2 cup mayonnaise, Best Foods, Hellmanns Mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a good size pot (6 quart or larger) of boiling water, place the florets of broccoli and cook until water just reaches a boil again. This will result in tender-crisp broccoli.
  • Once water reaches a boil, remove broccoli from heat and dump into a colander.
  • Douse with cold water to stop the cooking.
  • In a bowl, mix the mayo, cream and Splenda.
  • Stir in the nuts and bacon (and optional raisins).
  • Lightly toss in the broccoli.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper, a little extra mayo, Splenda or cream if needed.
  • Refrigerate.
