BROCCOLI SALAD WITH LIGHTER CREAMY DRESSING



Broccoli Salad with Lighter Creamy Dressing image

RECIPE VIDEO ABOVE. Slicing the florets creates a larger surface area so the dressing tenderises the broccoli more effectively, so the broccoli is tender crisp rather than a harsh, raw bite. I also like to have plenty of dressing because dressing soaked florets is my favourite part, so rather than a mayo only dressing, I opt to make more of a lighter dressing with less mayo that's pourable and coats every piece of broccoli thoroughly. Less oil, more dressing, more flavourings!

Provided by Nagi

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

500 g/1 lb broccoli florets ((2 large heads, 22cm/9" diameter))
150 g/5oz bacon (, chopped then cooked until golden)
3/4 cup dried cranberries ((or raisins, sultanas or blueberries))
1/2 cup almond slivers
1/2 red onion (, finely sliced)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup Greek yoghurt or sour cream
1/4 cup / 65ml milk (, low fat)
1/4 cup / 65ml lemon juice ((or cider vinegar))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 tsp each onion powder (, garlic powder, mustard powder)
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp finely ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the florets into slices no thicker than 0.7 cm / 1/4" thick.
  • Place in a bowl with remaining Salad ingredients.
  • Mix Dressing well in a large bowl - use a whisk to ensure it's all well incorporated. It will be thin and pourable - see video for consistency.
  • Pour all over Salad, toss well.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight (minimum 2 hours). Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.

LIGHTENED-UP CREAMY BROCCOLI SALAD



Lightened-Up Creamy Broccoli Salad image

Healthy eating is about moderation! Two strips of bacon are all you need for a little indulgence that goes a long way flavor-wise. Buy the best quality bacon you can, nitrate-free if possible--it'll have tons of flavor and really punch up this healthy take on a classic side dish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 strips low-sodium bacon
1/2 cup ice cubes
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 1/2 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound), cut into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons salted roasted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Combine the ice cubes, onions and 1 cup water in a small bowl. Let the onions soak for 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad, then drain and pat dry.
  • Cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings for the dressing. Finely chop the bacon strips and reserve.
  • Whisk the buttermilk, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, reserved bacon drippings, 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the broccoli, onions and golden raisins to the dressing. Toss well, cover and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Before serving, toss well and season with additional salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the chopped bacon and sunflower seeds.
