🥦 Low-Carb Broccoli Salad (The Ultimate Keto Side!)
This broccoli salad is the bomb! 💣 It’s crunchy, creamy, cheesy, and totally crave-worthy. I always keep it on hand when I’m doing low carb — it’s that good.

🧂 Ingredients:

Salad:

• 1 lb fresh broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces

• 1 lb cooked bacon, crumbled

• ½ red onion, finely diced

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Dressing:

• ¾ cup mayonnaise

• ½ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup stevia or preferred keto-friendly sweetener

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tsp salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Salad:
   Steam or lightly blanch broccoli if you prefer it less crunchy, or use it raw for maximum crispness. Let cool.

2. Cook the Bacon:
   Fry or bake the bacon until crispy. Drain and crumble.

3. Mix the Dressing:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, stevia, apple cider vinegar, and salt.

4. Combine Everything:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, bacon, red onion, and shredded cheese. Pour the dressing over and toss until well coated.

5. Chill:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors come together.

✅ Tips:

• Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days — great for meal prep!

• Add sunflower seeds or chopped almonds for crunch.

• Sub Greek yogurt for sour cream for a protein boost.
