    This broccoli ranch salad is creamy, crunchy and cheesy. Everything a low carb salad should be! A nut free, gluten free and keto salad.

    Broccoli salads are great for summer and a welcome addition to any gathering or pot luck. The flavour develops after chilling, so this is a good make ahead option too.

    How to make broccoli ranch salad

    This easy salad is made with just 4 ingredients and the ranch dressing. Another creamy low carb dressing could be used but I make my own ranch dressing. Once you go home made, there's no turning back!

    What you need to make this recipe

    • Broccoli - ensure it's fresh with a firm green head.
    • Red onion - you could swap this for spring onions, but I like the slight sweetness of red onion. Plus it adds a dash of colour.
    • Sunflower seeds - I used plain, but try roasted sunflower seeds for added flavour.
    • Cheddar cheese - This must be a decent cheddar cheese with flavour. None of that rubbery yellow stuff masquerading as cheese please. Pepper Jack cheese is an alternative for a touch of heat in your salad.
    • Ranch dressing -Making this is as easy as whisking mayonnaise, sour cream, heavy cream with fresh herbs, lemon juice and white vinegar.

    Recipe Tips

    Add bacon or chopped ham for a meatier salad.

    If you don't use homemade ranch dressing, try a sugar free one from the store.

    Try an avocado ranch dressing for extra creamy low carb fats!

    Add sliced almond or chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
