As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts, WW points and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
The nutritional value on this recipe says a serving size is 6 grams. That cannot be correct – do you know the correct serving size?
the Nutritional value I see on the post says 6 servings at 1 cup each. 6g is the number of carbs per serving. THANKS
I wish you would include the Weight Watchers points values with your recipes.
Thanks. We wish we could accommodate all plans, but that isn’t feasible right now. We are currently recalculating for the new WW plans for purple, blue and green. I hope that helps. Best, Michele

It should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.
I always blanch the broccoli for this type of salad. Looks like your version is the next I’ll be trying. Thanks!
Great idea to blanch the broccoli. Thanks for the tip! Michele
Love this salad! I haven’t seen it made with Greek yogurt- will have to try it out! Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
I had a recipe for a Broccoli Cauliflower Floret Salad, which was delicious. I lost the recipe, and cannot find anything like it. Help please!

Blanch 3 c brocc and 3 c cauliflower chopped.
Add 1lb of crispy crumbled bacon
1/2 c small finely chopped red onion
1/2 c roasted sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins drained that have been
sitting in 1 cup of boiling water
Mix 1C half n half
1 cup yogurt
1/2 c mayo
1/2 c sugar
Mix well and toss into other ingrediants
I love this salad! I too add sunflower seeds and raisins. With or without it’s good.
How Long Should the Broccoli be Blanched??
I never blanch my broccoli. Thanks!
Have you looked at the ingredients of the Truvia powder? I buy PURE Stevia extract by preference. The teaspoon equivalent is about half the size of a BB. Truvia contains other sugars to bulk it up. Alternatively, the plant is easy to grow and dry. For anything where color doesn’t matter (my bran crackers for instance) I just powder the dry leaves.
I tried this recipe and found it too runny. I did not enjoy it at all.
Will not be making it again.
Sorry to hear that. If mine gets too runny, I just add more bulk, like extra broccoli. Thanks!
