Keto Broccoli Salad

You might want to make this Keto Broccoli Salad to have at home, but you can also prepare it and bring it to different events with you. I’ve taken it to baby showers, holiday dinners, and family gatherings, and when I tell you it’s one of the first things to go, I’m being truthful. It seems everyone loves this Keto Broccoli Salad because they’re always tearing it up as soon as they put it on their plates.

What You’ll Need to Make Keto Broccoli Salad

You’ll only need a handful of simple ingredients to prepare this refreshingly tasty salad. A few of the ingredients required include:

• Broccoli. You can’t have broccoli salad without fresh broccoli. I like to buy a few broccoli heads to prepare this salad.
• Bacon. Chopped bacon tastes excellent with the bacon and goes perfectly in this salad. Use any bacon you like, such as beef, or turkey bacon.
• Chopped Walnuts. The walnuts offer an added crunch to this fresh salad. You can replace walnuts with macadamia nuts if you would like them instead.
• Sour Cream. The sour cream offers that creamy consistency needed to make this salad even more enjoyable.
• Mayo. Yes, this Keto Broccoli Salad does contain mayo, but you can use low-calorie options to make the recipe even lighter.

Besides these ingredients, be sure to have sunflower seeds, shredded cheddar cheese, apple cider vinegar, and a keto-friendly sweetener.

How to Make Broccoli Salad

Making the Keto Broccoli Salad is easy and straightforward. The only thing you’ll need to cook is bacon. I chop it up into small pieces before putting it in the skillet and cooking it until it’s crisp. While the bacon cooks, I add my broccoli and all other ingredients into a large bowl and mix them together. Once the bacon finishes cooking, I toss it in and give the ingredients another mix before putting the Keto Broccoli Salad in the fridge for a few hours.

How to Store Keto Broccoli Salad

Store your Keto Broccoli Salad in the fridge. It tastes best when it’s cold. You can pour it into a large container with a lid and keep it refrigerated for two days. If you’re making your Keto Broccoli Salad in advance for a party, put the container in the freezer and just thaw it for a few hours before attending the event.
