If you love a classic broccoli salad but need to lighten it up, this is an excellent choice. It's made with light mayonnaise and very little sugar (or sugar substitute). Feel free to add a little crumbled cooked bacon and sunflower seeds or chopped pecans for extra flavor and crunch.

6 to 8 cups of broccoli florets
1 medium carrot (shredded)
1/3 to 1/2 cup red onion or sweet onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup raisins or golden raisins (coarsely chopped)
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white wine or champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar or equivalent sugar substitute, or to taste
Dash salt
Dash pepper

If the broccoli florets are large, break or cut them into smaller pieces.
In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli, shredded carrot, onion, and raisins.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar; whisk until smooth. Stir into the broccoli mixture until well blended. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
