I’ve had variations of broccoli salad many times and always enjoyed them but this was the first time I made it myself. I used Carbzilla’s<\/a> recipe. Since I was going up to Seattle for my family Christmas party I wanted to bring a healthy potluck dish, but I was also going up the day before the party. I knew I wouldn’t have time to make it in Seattle so I prepped all the ingredients and put them in little baggies separately. I mixed the dressing and put that in a tupperware dish to transport. I figured this would prevent it from getting soggy and\/or gross.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFor the dressing, I used about 1\/2 cup of lite mayo and mixed in about 1\/4 cup plain Greek yogurt. I’m not a huge fan of mayo and wanted to try it with yogurt instead but was too nervous to use only<\/em>\u00a0yogurt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy main flaw when it comes to cooking is that I sometimes forget how important it is to READ THE ENTIRE RECIPE before I commit to it. For this recipe I skimmed the ingredients and called it good–and I was good. I had all the ingredients on hand. However, I started to cook and realize I did not have COOKED bacon. That set me back a good 30 minutes when I was trying to just throw everything together and hit the road.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen we got to the party the next day I mixed all the ingredients together. I was so glad that I had kept them separate! It worked out fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt took no time at all to mix the salad for the party. And it was a hit! The salad was gone in no time. I was happy I got a spoonful to test it out. I loved this salad and I would most definitely make it again. It’s a great potluck food, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI would recommend this recipe to anyone who’s going to a holiday party. It will be a hit! Plus, substituting some plain Greek yogurt was a good choice. I might try it next time with just the yogurt. (Also, my aunt said when she makes it she uses Rice Vinegar instead of white vinegar. I might try that too.)<\/p>\n
