Broccoli Salad

This is my lower fat/lower sugar variation of the infamous broccoli salad.  I like to think this one isn't quite as "unhealthy" as some of the variations out there.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of broccoli
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/8 cup sun flower seeds
• 2 tsp finely diced red onion
• 1 1/2 Tbsp low fat sour cream
• 1 1/2 Tbsp low fat mayonnaise
• 1/2 to 1 tsp agave syrup

Chop the broccoli into florets, discarding stems.

Combine the sour cream and the mayonnaise together.  Add 1/2 tsp agave syrup to add sweetness.  Add a little more if you don't find it sweet enough.

Toss all of the ingredients together and gently toss with the sour cream mixture.

This salad is better when it's had a chance to sit and the flavours meld together.

Notes:  

• The traditional variations have bacon, but I omit this ingredient.
• Agave syrup is a natural sweetener.  Most of the variations use a lot of sugar, which I try and stay away from.
• Use more or less of the ingredients based on what you like.  The quantities are approximate as I tend not to measure.....  :)
