Broccoli Salad With Bacon and Craisins

Submitted by CookinMindy

"This came from my mom's cookbook. One of my favorite salads to eat in the summer, our extended family who doesn't love vegetables gobbles this right up."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 heads broccoli, chopped into florets (about 6 cups)
• 2 cups cabbage leaves, chopped (1/4 small head)
• 1⁄2 cup craisins
• 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
• 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1⁄4 cup sunflower seeds
• 3⁄4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1⁄3 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• salt and pepper

directions

1. In a large bowl use a whisk to combine mayo, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

3. You can substitute regular raisins for golden raisins, but the golden color is a nice contrast to the Craisins.

This is a Midwest favorite, but I've never made it with cabbage! It gets rave reviews everywhere I've ever taken it!

When I made this the first time, I used regular mayo and bacon. But my daughter prefers healthier ingredients, so I loved the change to low-fat mayo and turkey bacon. It's a big hit with my daughter and her college roommates, and it would be great for a family reunion or pot-luck.
