Servings: 4 servings
- 4 cups broccoli, heads only see tip above for cutting broccoli to be low FODMAP
- 4 strips bacon
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup green onions, diced green parts only
- ⅓ cup walnut pieces
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until well done and slightly crispy – approximately 5 minutes per side. When it is finished, dab the excess fat off with some paper towel. Once it cools, roughly chop the bacon into small pieces, about 1/2 inch each.
While the bacon cooks, cut the broccoli. You only want the ‘top of the tree’ with only a little bit of stem remaining. Cut up your green onion (green part only) and set aside.
Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, add mayonnaise, olive oil, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add broccoli, green onions, walnuts, dried cranberries, and chopped bacon to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over top and mix well until everything is coated.
Serve and enjoy!
