Keto Broccoli Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 heads broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. In a medium pot, bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare a large bowl filled with ice water.
2. Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, spin the broccoli in a salad spinner at least twice to remove excess water.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cheddar cheese, red onion, toasted almonds, crumbled bacon, and chives. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all ingredients are well combined and coated in dressing.
5. Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.
