The first time I made this, was many years ago.  I made the sweeter version, which is option one.  It was delicious the first day, but the second day is was even tastier, because the yogurt dressing as able to soak into the other ingredients more.

The second option, option two, is also very tasty.  I wanted to have this delicious salad, but I didn’t have all the ingredients for the original version.  So, I tried a few tweeks, and they turned out great!

Next, time you want a sweet side dish that is healthy try out one or both of my Creamy Broccoli Salads.  And, you can decide which you like better.

Creamy Broccoli Salad (Two Ways!)

Option One Ingredients

(This one is sweeter, and my fav of the two.)

  • 3 cups broccoli flowerettes
  • 3 carrots, peeled, and sliced into thin pieces about 4 inches long.
  • 2 containers yogurt (I used So Delicious coconut milk yogurt)*
  • 3 tbsp raisins (or cranberries, dried cherries, or dried blueberries)
  • 3 tbsp sliced almonds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Option Two Ingredients (pictured)

(This one is not as sweet, but still tasty.)

  • 3 cups broccoli flowerettes
  • 1 sweet bell pepper, either orange, red or yellow, chopped into chunks.
  • 2 containers yogurt (I used Silk soy yogurt)*
  • 3 tbsp sliced almonds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions for Both Recipes

Combine the yogurt and cinnamon, in a small bowl.  Then, combine all the other ingredients in large bowl and top with the yogurt mixture.  Stir to coat.  This is best after it has been able to sit for about five to six hours, so that the dressing can soak into the ingredients more.  Makes about five servings.  Enjoy!
