Broccoli Bacon Salad

bite size broccoli, bacon, and cranberries in a creamy dressing.

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1/4 cup yogurt I used So Delicious Plain Yogurt, may also use more mayo
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or equivalent of stevia powder

Salad:

  • 12 oz broccoli florets and peeled broccoli stalks
  • 4-5 pieces bacon cooked & crumbled (my favorite is Trader Joe's applewood smoked, nitrate free)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries optional

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Either chop the broccoli small, or pulse it a few times in a food processor. I prefer this over larger florets. Up to you!
  3. In a large bowl, toss all the ingredients, and dressing to taste.
  4. Store in the refrigerator!

http://www.katemarolt.com/yoga/ Yoga Flow   I want you to enjoy today's practice and look for more yoga opportunities - preferably with a group or with an instructor.   What I want to invite you to take away after today's practice and print out to use again and again is not the specific flow - it's actually the philosophy of the flow itself.   Here are some words about it from Kate herself - who I encourage you to  connect with online !   "My philosophy is that Yoga is a practice of moving meditation- both on your mat and in your life.   Whether you are holding a pose and focusing on your breath, flowing through a series of movements, or simply observing your thoughts and taking action throughout your day, the intention behind each moment is key.   I believe that we can be 100% sincere and committed to our paths without having to be serious and struggling.   Approaching...
