Broccoli Salad THM S, Keto, Sugar-free, Low-carb
A simple classic Broccoli Salad is always a hit with our family and when taken to community dinners I usually bring an empty bowl home. This salad combines the best of home-cured, smoked bacon, tart cranberries, and fresh broccoli in a creamy dressing. If you would like, you can even add some cauliflower to this salad.
Marinated Tomatoes, THM S, Sugar free, Gluten free
Summer brings with it a bumper crop of tomatoes from gardens and produce stands. Heirloom tomatoes are all all time favorite at our house. They are not the perfectly shaped orbs you will find at the grocery stores. Heirlooms have a shorter shelf life so they are not found in all stores. These tomatoes have a superior taste though they may be very odd shaped.

Summertime gardens will soon be producing bountifully. Salads are an important part of our meals and fresh produce is always a blessing. Cucumbers and cabbage are combined to make this salad. You will find an interesting ingredient in the dressing that adds to the flavor…Kosher Dill pickle brine!
