Low Carb Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli Salad with Purple Cauliflower and Lower Sugar Dried Cranberries

One of my favorite summer side salads is traditional Broccoli Salad. My photo doesn't really show it, but this salad has a mayo based dressing just like the original, but lightened up by using light mayo and Splenda instead of sugar.

I used purple cauliflower that I found at my local farmer's market, but you can use regular white or any other color of cauliflower. I also used 50% less sugar dried cranberries from Ocean Spray to keep the sugar content down. The sunflower seeds are just basic dry roasted sunflower seeds.

The great thing about this Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad is that you can add anything to make it your own, this recipe is just a base for your creation! Try adding crumbled center cut bacon or small cubes of cheddar cheese.
