How to Make It

  1. Prep the Veggies

Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Peel and chop the broccoli stems. Dice the red onion and set aside the seeds, cranberries, cheeses, and bacon bits in a small bowl.

  1. Make the Dressing

In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir in 2 scoops of GUT Superblend until smooth.

  1. Mix the Salad

In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onion, cheese, seeds, cranberries, and bacon. Pour the dressing over and toss until everything is well coated.

  1. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors settle. Serve cold as a side dish or meal prep option.
