Simply Delicious Broccoli Salad

Ingredients

1 pound broccoli
1 cup carrots, grated
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
2/3 cup sunflower seeds, toasted
1/2 cup raisins
1-1/2 cups fat-free mayonnaise dressing
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup Splenda or Agave Nectar

Preparation

Salad:
Peel broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin. Then, cut the broccoli flower and stalk into bit size pieces. Blanch them in boiling water for 15 seconds and then plunge them into cold water. Place them in a large bowl. Next, add grated carrots, onion, sunflower seeds and raisins. Mix well.

Dressing:
In a separate small bowl, mix fat-free mayonnaise, vinegar and Splenda (or Agave Nectar). Blend well.

Pour dressing over the salad and toss until well-coated. Chill overnight for best flavor.
