Thanks so much for the recipes! I have everything I need for the top one but it's the bottom one I want to make. It sounds absolutely addictive! Lol!

So glad to help. Use granulated splenda in the bottom one not the packets. They are both very good. I hope you enjoy them.

I make a very low calorie broccoli salad with the following:

Broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
Grated carrots
Craisins (or raisins)
Chopped celery
Chopped red onion (optional)
Chopped bacon (the real stuff, not bacon bits)
Plain non-fat greek yogurt
1-2 Tbsp honey
1-2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

This is a lot like the broccoli salad you get at the deli, but without the mayo so the calories are much lower.

Sometimes I add sunflower seeds, pepitas, or chopped nuts. Pecans are also good. If I don't have honey I just toss in a few tsps of sugar. Because everything else is so low-cal, the sugar doesn't really add that many calories. I don't usually measure anything, just throw it all together and adjust the dressing to taste.

Also, when chopping the broccoli, I never throw out the stems! Horrors!! Just peel them with a veggie peeler and cut into sticks like celery. They are delicious!
