Make this a Weight Watchers Salad
There are a few things that you need to do to make this salad a little more point friendly. On my personal points, the broccoli salad, as is, comes in at 6 points. When I change the mayo for fat free Greek yogurt. I change the pork bacon to turkey bacon and reduce the raisins and the sunflower seeds. This brings the salad down to 3 points on my plan.
