One cup of raw broccoli gives you more than a day's worth of vitamins C and K, as well as a nice dose of vitamin A, folate and manganese. There are also 2 grams of fiber in that same cup of broccoli, which is about 7% of your daily needs. Evidence suggests that certain compounds in broccoli may help protect against heart disease and some cancers. Diana Chistruga Is This Recipe Gluten-Free? Yes, this recipe is gluten-free. Tips from the Test Kitchen Is There Another Method for Cooking Bacon? If you prefer not to fry bacon in a skillet, there are other methods for cooking bacon. Try baking it in the oven or cooking it in the microwave. You can even cook bacon in an air fryer! Diana Chistruga I Don't Have Sour Cream. Is There a Substitute? Yes! You can use plain Greek yogurt, which has a tangy flavor and thick consistency that's similar to sour cream. How to Cut Broccoli for the Salad Following our step-by-step guide, cut off the stalk of the broccoli and trim any leaves. Cut the crown into individual florets, then cut the florets in half. If the florets are large, cut them into quarters for bite-sized pieces. Can I Make It Vegetarian? Absolutely! You can omit the bacon and add walnuts, pecans or sunflower seeds for crunch. Or add smoked almonds for a savory smoked flavor.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
