Broccoli Salad ... Lighter Version!

I love broccoli salad, it was one of my favorites growing up.  BUT as I watch what I eat and working out my usual broccoli salad just doesn't work, I found a great version on Eating Well's Website and I must say it was pretty tasty.  I never have add water chestnuts to my previous versions and it gave it a nice crunch!  I recommend this as a great alternative for your summer snack.

  • 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

  • 1 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
  • 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • Freshly ground pepper , to taste

PREPARATION


  1. Whisk garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar and sugar in a large bowl. Add broccoli, water chestnuts, bacon, cranberries and pepper; stir to coat with the dressing.
