Broccoli Apple Salad

This crunchy, creamy salad is a delicious mix of savoury and sweet flavours. Perfect as a side dish or base for a meal!

Salad

• 4 cups broccoli florets

• 3/4 cup apples, chopped

• 1/3 cup red onion, diced

• 1/3 cup carrots, julienned

• 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

• optional: 4 tbsp dried cranberries

Dressing

• 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk

• 2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

• Mix all dressing ingredients in a jar or small mixing bowl. Set aside.

• Place broccoli, apple, onion, carrots, and bacon (plus optional dried cranberries, if using) in a large bowl.

• Pour dressing over and toss to coat. Chill before serving – a few hours in the fridge is best. Enjoy!

Exchanges:

Makes 4 servings. Count each serving as 1/2 portion fruit (group 4) and 4 portions fat (group 7). The amount of carrot per serving is minimal, so we can consider the vegetables here to be free.
