  • 1/3 cup Dukes Light mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener with erythritol, classic

  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and bacon bits. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
