Broccoli salad

In the search of healthy bowls ideas for lunch, I had to make my grandma’s famous broccoli salad into one. It’s full of protein and nutrition. Loaded with broccoli, sunflower seeds, and cheese, this packs a punch of protein and nutrition.

If you would like, swap out the mayonnaise for light mayonnaise or use this homemade version instead for more nutritious whole food option.

Homemade mayonnaise

Add one large egg yolk on the bottom of the mason jar and 1/2 – 3/4 cup mild oil, ½ tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp white wine vinegar, ¼ tsp Dijon mustard, ¼ tsp sea salt. Insert the Immersion blender, start at the bottom with the egg first and blend slowly upward for 10 seconds or until thick consistency.
