Broccoli Salad


First recipe a success. Loved it. The kids didn't even try it, but that is to be expected. They have decided they won't eat anything that has vegetables in it, especially Jess. Whatever, not really my problem any more ;o). Aaron and I really liked it though. Of course I modified it a little bit, you  know me, but it was yummy. Amy, this might be a good "side" for you to try.

Ingredients:

3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 strips of bacon (I used turkey bacon) 
1/2 cup finely chopped onion 
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I think I will try non-fat plain yogurt next time)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/8 tsp powdered Stevia 

Directions:

In a large bowl combine broccoli, cheese, bacon, onion and craisins. In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar and Stevia. Pour over broccoli mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
