Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 large head)
  • 1/2 cup diced turkey ham
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (sugar-free)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol for sweetness

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Wash the broccoli head thoroughly and chop it into small, bite-sized florets. You can use both the florets and some of the tender stems for added texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, diced turkey ham, chopped red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Toss gently to mix.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and optional erythritol until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. Fold in the sunflower seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

For a softer texture, blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes then transfer to ice bath. Salad tastes better the next day - perfect for meal prep. Add hard-boiled eggs, almonds or bacon bits for extra protein.
