Recipe Tips

  • No need to cook broccoli, this is a raw broccoli salad! 
  • Use fresh heads of broccoli, rinsed, patted dry, with the stems removed.
  • Don’t skip on the cheddar cheese and parmesan! It is a match made in heaven with the broccoli.
  • As for the bacon, you can always switch up your protein by subbing in chicken, sausage, and even steak!
  • The onion is an optional addition for flavour, you can slice lengthways or dice them.
  • The dressing of this salad is very minimal, but you are welcome to add in some olive or avocado oil and extra seasonings.

What to Serve With a Broccoli Salad Side

Salad is meant for a hot spring or summer day, sitting on the patio, and spending time with loved ones in the sunshine. They’re light and healthy, perfect for a BBQ or weeknight family dinner, and are best served with nutritious source of protein. Here are some ideas:

  • BBQ — think steak, salmon, chicken (wings, breast, whole chicken, thighs, legs), pork chops, corn on the cob, meat and veggie skewers
  • Picnic — think sandwiches, wraps, charcuterie boards, wine, and more cheese
  • Party — Serve with alongside my spinach artichoke dip, more raw veggies and dip, charcuterie boards, low carb tortillas, chips, and crackers
  • Chicken — oven baked, roasted, grilled, or air fried
  • Seafood — Salmon, trout, cod, shrimp

Keto Broccoli Salad FAQS

Do I need to cook or blanche the broccoli?

No, you do not need to cook the broccoli at all. By serving it raw, you get to experience the satisfying crunchy taste of raw veggies, while maintaining all nutrient absorption.

Do I have to rinse and dry the broccoli beforehand?

It is recommended to rinse the broccoli to remove pesticides, impurities and dirt, as well as drying so that you are not left with soggy broccoli. Simply pat dry with a paper towel and then cut into florets.

Can this be made dairy-free or vegan?

Yes, if you are vegan or dairy-free, you would need to use a dairy-free cheese of choice and sub vegan parmesan and vegan mayo.

Is this recipe truly low carb and keto friendly?

Absolutely! This broccoli salad is a high fibre, high fat dish that keeps you full and satiated. If you were to add extra ingredients like nuts, seeds and fruit (some low or high in carbs), you would be adding to the carb count.

How long does it stay fresh in the fridge?

The longer the salad sits, the creamier and the better. I would keep it refrigerated for about 4 days, giving it a quick toss before serving. But don’t you worry, it will be long gone before then!
