Broccoli Salad

This salad has become a family favorite and it's what I'm always asked to bring to family get togethers.

But who can blame them when you combine broccoli, bacon and mayo together and call it a healthy salad?!

The key to making this healthy salad is the mayo choice you choose. I love to make my own mayo because it's easy and I get to be in control of the ingredients, but it’s purely optional.

To make your own mayo all you need is an immersion blender and the ingredients:

1 egg yolk

2/3 cup avocado oil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp mustard

1/4 tsp garlic powder

2 Tbsp vinegar

All you do is add the ingredients to a tall jar and blend it together with your immersion blender. Blend it together just until the oil is combined and incorporated in with the egg to create a nice, thick consistency. This mayo tastes better than anything I've purchased!
