After the trip to North Carolina and girls weekend in Rhode Island it is time to lock it down and eat healthy. In order to do that I need to get in some veggies. Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies so this one popped into my head on the way home from girls weekend. Anything that makes it easier to eat more veggies is okay in my book. This one was quick to put together and was really light tasting. Much better than a carb filled potato salad, so bring it to your next BBQ and fill your plate to save calories!
Ingredients: 1 Head Broccoli (approx. 2-3 cups) ~ 1 Apple ~ 1/4 cup sunflower seeds ~ 1/2 shredded carrots ~ 1/4 cup red onion diced
Directions: Boil head of Broccoli for 5 minutes until slightly fork tender. While it is cooking dice the red onion and the apple, add to a large mixing bowl. Add in the sunflower seeds and the carrots. Mix the dressing ingredients. Once the broccoli is done, chop the heads off the stems and place into the large bowl. Add the dressing and toss until fully coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve.
