I realize that there are other groups for this but I thought we could swap some recipes while we are in this group.
I try to Eat Clean but any recipes welcome.
Here is one I just tried, delicious:
Healthy Broccoli, Cranberry & Almond Salad
I like to blanch the broccoli for this recipe to remove a bit of the crunch —just plunge the florets into boiling water—but you can use raw broccoli if you prefer. Usually this dish would contain mayo but I’ve used low-fat yogurt instead. Even the kids will love this salad’s sweet taste!

4 cups (1 L) broccoli florets, chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup (60 mL) dried cranberries
1/4 cup (60 mL) walnut pieces
1/4 cup (60 mL) sliced almonds
1 Granny Smith apple, grated
1/4 cup (60 mL) sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp (30 mL) low-fat plain yogurt
2 Tbsp (30 mL) honey
2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for two to three minutes, if desired. Rinse in cold water and strain till dry. Transfer to a medium bowl. To the broccoli, add onions, dried cranberries, walnuts, almonds, apple and sunflower seeds. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, honey and lemon juice. Fold dressing into salad and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serves eight.
