- Remove hard stems from broccoli leaving mostly florets. Break the florets into bite size pieces and place into a large bowl

- Measure out 1/2 cup roasted/salted sunflower seeds
- Add remaining ingredients (with the exception of the dressing) to your bowl of broccoli and toss to combine.
- Drizzle dressing over the tossed broccoli salad and stir to coat.
- Place in refrigerator for a least 2 hours and up to a day for best flavors.
Notes
If not following a Keto diet or concerned about sugar content, sugar can be replaced for the swerve sweetener in this recipe.
Cut your bacon before cooking, you can fit more into the pan and it makes perfect bacon bits for this salad.
Save your broccoli stems for Broccoli "Rice" - Just pulse it in a food processor until it resembles bits of rice.
To save time purchase pre-chopped and washed bags of broccoli. Just break them apart into bite size pieces.
Make this Salad up to a day ahead, letting this salad rest in the fridge for 2 hours or up to a day results in the best flavors!
Do not freeze this salad, eat it fresh. In our house this is not even an option - it's so good you won't have any left to freeze!
I hope this Keto side dish adds some variety to your meals whether its steaks, sandwiches, or even served alongside your holiday turkey or ham. This one is sure to please! Enjoy, The Scrambled Eggs.
