Low Carb Broccoli Salad Recipe – Easy Make Ahead Lunch Salads with the recipe and video tutorial.
Low Carb Broccoli Salad
This easy low carb broccoli salad is a brilliant make ahead meal that I often enjoy for lunch or take to potlucks or picnics.
There are only four ingredients in this simple salad:
Broccoli – the whole broccoli is used in this recipe – with the florets chopped into bite sized pieces and stalk grated into the salad for a mixture of flavors and textures. (For more salad inspiration, here are my easy Keto Lettuce Wraps.)
Lemon – you can use half to the whole lemon, both the zest and juice, depending on how many carbs you want to include in your broccoli salad.
Sour Cream – I adore including low carb, high fat sour cream in my creamy salads. You can also mix in mayo or low carb natural yogurt for a different, tangy flavor. (For another easy, creamy salad, here’s a 4 ingredient keto cucumber salad.)
Grated Cheese – adding in a portion (or more) of grated cheese turns the salad into a whole meal.
There are plenty of other ingredients you can add to your creamy broccoli salad, such as:
- Salt, Pepper or any other seasoning you like
- Sunflower Seeds
- Flaked Almonds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Chia Seeds
- Walnuts
- Feta
- Goats Cheese
You can store the salad in a salad bowl in the fridge, although my preference is a glass storage container so that I can easily transport the salad if need be. (Here are glass storage containers on Amazon.)
