Yummmm. I blanched the florets for 30 seconds, omitted the bacon and cheese, and used full-fat yogurt. I also cut the vinegar in half because my husband isn’t such a big fan. :) Since I had no stevia I used a tablespoon of honey, and I felt that it needed a good 1/4 teaspoon of salt. So yes, I made some tweaks– but it was delicious!

I have a recipe similar to this that I use cauliflower instead of carrots and sour cream instead of yogurt and I LOVE it! I love adding just a touch of bacon to it! Thanks!

Carolyn – I have some in the GLB store under baking products..
link to greenlitebites.com
I bought mine at Trader Joe’s and I’ve even seen it at Walmart. It’s not with the sweeteners it’s normally with the organic stuff or supplements.

Hope that helps!

Where can you find stevia?

I used to make the regular version of this salad, and everyone loved it, but it was pretty fattening. I think I’ll give this one a try. Can you find stevia in the same section as the splenda, or is it only in specialty stores? Maybe I’ll look online.

Oh, and with the regular version, since it sat in the fridge for hours before serving and got soggy anyway, I’d use the frozen broccoli florets (well-drained). Would that work with this recipe, or should it be fresh broccoli? Thanks for posting this!

Becci – Of course! I’m just too lazy to buy it now that I figured out the bacon bits trick! LOL

Lacey – Great idea! I was going to do raisins but I didn’t have any!

Ohhh, this sounds so good!
Lacey, I love the idea of craisins.
Roni, would turkey bacon work?
Can’t wait to try this one on my co-workers at the next potluck :)

This looks so good Roni, I can’t wait to try it. I think i’ll add some craisins too for a little bit of sweet and chew, I love them in salads.

I’m a big fan of stevia – it’s nice to see it used in recipes instead of splenda or other not so good artificial sweeteners.

kyree90 – Sure! Splenda would be fine but you’d have to increase the amount a bit. Stevia is super sweet.

This has always been one of my favorite salads. I love your version and can’t wait to give it a try. Oh, and by the way, I would have eaten the whole thing myself as well. :)

Thanks!

Sounds delicious. Think I’ll make some after my next trip to the grocery store. (I need to buy some bacon bits first.)

Would it be OK to use Splenda instead of Stevia? I have that on hand already.
