Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli slaw mix
• 6 slices Turkey bacon
• 1 can Water chestnuts
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cups Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Let cool, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 2

Drain the water chestnuts and chop them into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix, chopped water chestnuts, sliced green onions, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries.

Step 5

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

Fold in the crumbled turkey bacon, ensuring it is distributed throughout the slaw.

Step 8

Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish or a light, refreshing meal. Optionally, sprinkle additional sunflower seeds or cranberries on top for garnish.
