Bacon and Broccoli Salad

Ingredients:
6 cups broccoli florets
8 slices cooked sugar-free bacon, crumbled

Broccoli contains a high amount of sulforaphane, a compound that helps stimulate detoxification and may
help reduce the risk for certain types of cancers. According to a report in the Journal of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry, raw broccoli provides more sulforaphane than cooked broccoli, because the cooking
process binds the compounds, making it less accessible.
1. Combine raw broccoli, bacon, Cheddar cheese, and avocado in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper and stir until
combined. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until
chilled, about 30 minutes. Serve chilled.
