I'm always trying to figure out ways to eat lower carb sides with dinner because I have diabetes and it seems to be working since my Blood Sugar is lower and my A1C went from 11.1 to 9.1 which is much better. So yay me!
So I was messing around with some broccoli stems since I like eating them raw, I figured I could make a raw salad or slaw and this is what I came up with.
You'll need:
4 trimmed broccoli stems
1 celery stalk
1 green onion
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Ranch dressing
What To do:
Cut the broccoli stems close to the florets and trim off the hard outside. Slice thinly and add to a small bowl.
Slice the celery and green onion thinly and add to the bowl.
To made the dressing, add the lemon juice, mayo and ranch dressing, mix well and pour over slaw. Mix well and chill for an hour before serving.
I thought it made for a nice, low carb side dish.
Ugh broccoli
ReplyDeleteBroccoli stems...lol
DeleteLOL
Deleteoh sounds good. I'm always eating them raw because hubbs doesn't like them cooked so yay a new way to use them.
ReplyDeleteYep, my hubby doesn't like them either.
DeleteThis sounds pretty good! I lot of people discard the broccoli stems and only eat the crowns but I love the stems. I'll have to give this recipe a try. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the stems too. I usually just eat them raw while making dinner. lol
DeleteI didn't realize people liked the stems so much. I usually toss them or buy the crowns from the store. This does look like a delicious salad and a great way to use the stems too!
ReplyDeleteThey are really good. My mom used to eat them and that's how I knew they were good.
DeleteThis is new for me. I've never had something like this. I love broccoli so I will have to try it! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it too.
DeleteA few nights back we tried a new way of making slaw. Out of Napa Cabbage and red wine vinegar.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
I hope it was good.

ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
Oh that's interesting.
DeleteI'm not totally in love with broccoli like a cheeseburger,(lol) but like you, I have to minimize my carbs, too. This looks like a good recipe, but you know I just need to add some heat. Hugs..and Happy Saturday! RO
ReplyDeleteHeat would work in this one since it's so refreshing.
DeleteThis sounds delish! I love me some broccoli and this sounds like a really original idea.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to try it.
