BROCCOLI SALAD WITH YOGURT DRESSING


This is a great diet dish, low calorie, tasty and of course really good for you.

1 bunch broccoli
1 cup yogurt
2 pieces of garlic (crushed)
2 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
salt

  • Put water and salt into a big pot and bring to boil
  • Cut up broccoli into desired size. I like the taste of yogurt so I cut mine into small pieces
  • Once the water is boiling add in the broccoli. Boil for 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. It is better if broccoli is a little crunchy
  • Drain broccoli and set aside to cool
  • Drain excess juice from yogurt by pouring it on a paper towel or a small strainer and leave in the fridge for 1 hour
  • Combine yogurt, mayo, crushed garlic and salt. Taste to make sure you have enough salt.
  • You can either mix the yogurt dressing all through or simply pour over the broccoli
  • Top with olive oil and hot pepper flakes.
