Recipe: Broccoli Salad

Here is the broccoli salad I made for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! I found this recipe on The Kids Wellness website, and the only thing I changed was the type of mayo used and we omitted the onions. We had actually ran out of the safflower mayo we normally used, so my husband made some home-made safflower mayo for me. It was delicious, and probably made the salad even better :)

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups chopped broccoli

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional)

  • 3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries or raisins

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, (or chopped walnuts, or any nut of choice)

  • 3/4 cup light mayonnaise of your choice

  • 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons flax seed


  • In a large bowl place broccoli, onion, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and flax seed. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Mix well. Pour over salad, toss well. Chill before serving.

    Another familiar ingredient to our family too. Son eats lots of avocado, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.
