Creamy Broccoli Salad

Creamy Broccoli Salad is the perfect snack or side dish! Dairy-free avocado oil mayo is the perfect healthier alternative to regular mayo. Easy to make and eat throughout the week!

First off I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway on my last post! The winner was Marli Sakiyama, congrats Marli! Stay tuned though because there might be another giveaway coming this week! 😉

Today I am sharing a super delicious and creamy Broccoli Salad recipe! I was inspired to make this recipe after finding an avocado oil based mayonnaise at Vita Health on the weekend. The main differences between this avocado oil mayo vs. a regular mayo are that the base ingredient is avocado oil (instead of vegetable oil), and it contains mostly organic ingredients. Regular mayo and this mayo are both dairy-free however both contain eggs (this product is not vegan). Although this avocado oil based mayo should be eaten in moderation, it definitely contains better ingredients than regular mayo. I purchased the Chose Foods Avocado Oil Mayonnaise from Vita Health in Winnipeg.

This Broccoli Salad recipe contains broccoli, cauliflower, turkey bacon, frozen peas, red onion and lastly avocado oil mayo to give this recipe some creaminess and bring everything together.

I like to make this recipe on the weekend and snack on it for the next couple days. Sometimes I eat it on its own or will have it on the side with chicken.
