Broccoli Salad 3 Points!

This was a recipe my Mother-in-law taught to me.  I entered it in to the Weight Watchers recipe builder.  With 7 servings, this ended up to be 3 points per 1 cup of salad!


















* adjustment:  Make 1 cup of celery instead of 5 oz.  roughly 5-6 sticks.


Instructions

  • Mix the yogurt, miracle whip, lemon juice, and sweetener together
  • use a food chopper to chop up the onion, celery, broccoli, and grapes.  Add to yogurt mixure.
  • toast the slivered almonds in oven (these are the highest point value in the salad- if you desire to have a less point salad, perhaps omit these or switch out for a different nut)
  • fry up the bacon (if bacon is fatty, just peel off the lean parts to use in the salad)
  • add almonds and bacon to mixture
  • if mixture looks too dry, add by teaspoonfuls of skim milk till glossy and smooth.
This is insanely delicious and makes enough to bring to a family function, or simply to have as leftovers for future meals.  If you decide to try this recipe out, make sure to leave a comment to let me know what you think! :-) 

BONUS:  This salad has 5 of the Weight Watchers power foods in it!!
