How Baba makes it

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar substitute and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes if the sweetener is granular, then whisk in the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the broccoli, cheddar, mozzarella, and crumbled bacon to a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can come together. Toss again just before serving.

Baba's tip

The original recipe uses ¼ cup honey. Brown sugar substitutes vary, so follow your package's cup-for-cup guidance and taste the dressing before tossing. Add a little more sweetener if you like it sweeter.

Keep refrigerated until serving. The exact carbohydrate count depends on your sweetener and mayonnaise labels.
