Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 cup crispy turkey bites, cooked and chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • ⅓ cup sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise (sugar-free)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare your turkey bites by cooking them until crispy in a skillet over medium heat. Allow them to cool completely before adding to the salad.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli florets, diced red onion, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, and cubed cheddar cheese.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add the cooled crispy turkey bites and gently fold them into the salad.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

Chop broccoli small for perfect texture balance. Cook turkey bites until crispy for maximum texture contrast. Salad tastes better the next day - prepare up to 3 days in advance for meal prep. Great for customization with other keto-friendly ingredients like hard-boiled eggs or bell peppers.
