Notes

  • If you prefer a less sweet broccoli salad, start with 1 tablespoon of sweetener. Taste repeatedly and add more as needed. 2 tablespoons of sweetener along with the apple cider vinegar will produce a sweet and savory salad.
  • 1 cup of mayo will make this a creamy salad. If you prefer less creamy, start with 1/2 - 3/4 cup of mayo. Add additional mayo as necessary.
  • You can substitute mayo for plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Broccoli salad will last covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Makes 6-7 cups
