Broccoli never tasted so good! Raw broccoli can be totally boring but when you toss it into a salad with cheese and bacon and cover it with a creamy dressing incredible things just happen!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light mayonnaise

8 oz bacon ((about 8 slices), diced and sauteed until crisp and drained)
1 1/4 cups small cubed Colby Jack cheese ((6 oz))

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to use.
  • Add all salad ingredients to a salad bowl (I like to set aside about 1/4 of the bacon and red onion to sprinkle over the top at the end for more color, that's totally optional).
  • Pour dressing over top then toss to evenly coat. Serve within and hour of adding dressing for best results.
