Harvest Time for winter veggies

May 12, 2012
Wow 127 days since planting small sprouts and broccoli is really growing edible "flowers" now. Have been using steamed and in a broccoli fruit salad that is my take on the "traditional" broccoli salad. This one uses Greek yogurt and Splenda and reduced sugar maple syrup to sweeten. Reducing the fat and sugar but not the taste!

Broccoli Salad

Medium size bunch of broccoli florets
1/4 cup mixed raisons and dried cranberries
1/2 apple chopped
2 tablespoons almonds chopped
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonaise
2 tablespoons balsalmic vinegar
2 packets of Splenda
1 tsp honey
1 tablespoon reduced sugar imitation maple syrup
salt and pepper to finish

Separate florets into small pieces, add fruit and chopped nuts. Mix together yogurt, mayo, balsalmic vinegar and sweeteners. Pour over salad and mix well. Finish with a "shaking" of salt and pepper. Add more sweetener to your liking! Enjoy!
