Hey, I had some broccoli salad at a BBQ and it was delicious so I found a similar recipe but wanted to know if this was healthy?

I was thinking if replacing the bacon with turkey bacon, the sugar with artificial sweetner, and mayonaise with light mayo?

It was sooooo goood though! Here is the link to the recipe:

    shouldnt be a problem :) 1 cup will prolly give you around 175 calories though so something like that would be in moderation :)

    If it were me, I would take out the sugar, no idea why it needs 1/2 cup of sugar.
    Change the bacon to a leaner meat
    no raisins
    and have homemade mayo

    but then it's like a completely different meal hahaa ;)

    Sounds delicious! I wouldn't change the bacon except to a nitrate free variety. If you're using a sweetener, I would stay away from artificial ones. I'd more likely use a less process real sugar or stevia in place of the white sugar. Happy cooking :-)

    Try swapping out any mayo with nonfat greek yogurt. Most ppl can't tell the difference.

    Only replace the bacon with turkey bacon if you plan to feed this to a dog.
