I know you love Keto Broccoli salad with bacon. In fact, I cannot imagine Creamed Broccoli without crispy bacon.

But, we all know it that, bacon or any sort of processed meat is not healthy.

And therefore this Keto Broccoli Salad contains no bacon. Although, you might argue that Bacon is okay if you are on a keto diet. But, I personally avoid processed meat as much as I can.

Instead of Bacon I like to make my low carb broccoli salad with apple cider vinegar.

Just mentioning Apple Cider Vinegar, I'm tempted to share with y'all my most popular Apple Butternut Squash Chicken in Crockpot. Its super-delicious and so damn good.

Apple Cider Vinegar is certainly my #1 choice when making a dressing for salads. It adds that mild acidity along with a fruity overall taste.

Besides that, I like to use greek yogurt to make this healthy broccoli salad.

If you are wanting to make a vegan version of this salad aka Vegan Broccoli Salad then I recommend substituting mayonnaise or greek yogurt with my Best Homemade Vegan mayonnaise Recipe (without Aquafaba) or this super-delicious Vegan White Bean Alfredo Sauce.

Favorite Potluck Side Dish!

This keto broccoli salad with pecans or almonds is something that I make very often in my home.

I like to keep things very simple yet tasty when making this Keto Broccoli Salad. 😋

And, for me the definition of a simple yet tasty dressing is plain greek yogurt. The simple and smooth taste of yogurt is totally uncomparable. I call this one of my favorite Summer Salads.

And, Greek Yogurt is so much better than Mayonnaise, especially when you are making a creamy, refreshing salad dressing.

Here are some of my other favorite salad dressings:

  • Strawberry Chicken Salad with the Best ever dressing
  • Southern Cornbread Dressing Recipe
  • Black Bean and Corn Salad with Lime Dressing
  • Mexican Corn Salad Recipe with Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • Healthy Chickpea Salad with Honey & Fish Sauce Dressing

Packed with fiber, vitamins, and macronutrients Broccoli is in fact great for keto diet.

Keto Broccoli Salad Vegan

Planning to make Vegan Broccoli Salad? I recommend you checking out this recipe from feasting at home. Unlike most people she has used hemp seeds to make the dressing. And, that tastes absolutely delightful.

This is quite similar to my Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo and Vegan Cauliflower "Meat" Balls

Top Tips for No Mayo Broccoli Salad

  • Steam your broccoli florets and transfer them into a bowl with ice cubes.
  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese is my #1 choice when making anything broccoli. Thinking about Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Quiche, Grandma's Broccoli Casserole with Cream Cheese, Broccoli Cauliflower Rice Casserole, Broccoli Mac and Cheese
  • I love Ranch Dressing. Especially the one that I make in my home. Ranch Seasoning Recipe. Therefore, if you don't want to use yogurt or mayonnaise then you can use ranch dressing to make the salad.
