Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

April 21, 2019 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. 1 Comment

This Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad is loaded with crunch and full of healthy ingredients. The delicious, creamy dressing blends the sweet and tangy flavors together. It’s a perfect salad to make ahead of time and great for potlucks, picnics and parties!

Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

What Makes This Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad Special?

One thing I absolutely LOVE about this salad is that it can last for multiple days without getting soggy. I would even argue that the flavor is enhanced as it marinates in the refrigerator for a few days.

Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

I also love the versatility of this salad. Depending on your preferences and/or diet restrictions, you can easily modify the recipe to make it healthier or a little more decadent. For example, you can add crumbled bacon, use maple syrup instead of sugar, or substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.

Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

About This Apple Broccoli Salad

In my opinion, this salad is the best way to enjoy raw broccoli. The sweetness of the apples and sugar go a long way in balancing out the natural bitterness of the broccoli.

Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

This is my all-time favorite lettuce-free salad. I just love the burst of flavor with each crunchy bite. And best of all, this recipe is super easy to make and full of vitamins and nutrients.

Author Good Living Guide

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli prepared (instructions below)
  • 16 oz package fettuccine broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 honeycrisp apple washed and chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled and grated
  • 4 stalks celery washed and sliced
  • 1 small red onion peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup green onions
  • 12 strips bacon cooled and crumbled (optional)

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 5 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

Broccoli Preparation

  1. With a paring knife, cut the Broccoli crown (that's the fluffy looking bright green part on top) away from the stem. Set stem aside.
  2. Pull the crown florets apart, and then cut the small florets away from the small stems that are holding them, and you should end up with bite size florets.
  3. Take the large stem you set aside, and cut both ends off and discard.
  4. Slice the remaining stem into bite size pieces, and put all the Broccoli, stems and floret pieces, in a colander, and thoroughly wash under cold running water until clean. Let drain in colander.

Salad Instructions

  1. In a medium stock pot filled 3/4 full of hot water, bring the water to a boil, adding a little olive oil or butter and a pinch of salt to the water.
  2. Break the fettuccine into 2 inch pieces. Place in boiling water.

  3. Turn the heat to low and cook for 6 minutes, or until pasta is al dente (done, but still a little firm).

  4. When fully cooked, transfer fettuccine to a dish with a slotted spoon or pasta strainer.

  5. Place broccoli in the same water used to cook the fettuccine. Bring the water to a boil, turn down the heat to low, and cook for two minutes.  

  6. Drain broccoli in the colander, and set aside to cool.  
  7. While the fettuccine and broccoli are cooling, wash and peel the carrots. Either grate them with a grater or shred them in the food processor.

  8. Wash and slice the celery. Peel and chop the red and green onions. 

  9. Place the cooled, drained broccoli and the fettuccine in a serving dish. Add the carrot, celery, and red and green onion. Place dish in the refrigerator.

Dressing Instructions

  1. In a small bowl add the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk all together until well blended and then place in the refrigerator.

  2. Wash and chop the apple and then add to the salad.

  3. Immediately pour the dressing over the salad. Add the raisins and then toss all ingredients together to coat the pasta and vegetables with the dressing.

  4. Place the salad back in the refrigerator.

  5. OPTIONAL: Cook the bacon and drain on paper towels. When bacon has cooled, and right before serving the salad, crumble the bacon over the top of the salad.

  6. Serve as a side dish, on a buffet, or as a starter in place of lettuce salad. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If possible, add ingredients in the order the recipe states.  Make sure you add the apple last and pour the dressing immediately on the salad (the dressing contains lemon juice which helps to keep the apple from turning brown).  All apples turn brown after cutting or chopping, but lemon juice will help to retain the natural apple color.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

April 20, 2019 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. Leave a Comment

This Avocado Chocolate Mousse is not only a healthy choice for chocolate lovers, but it’s also one of the easiest dessert recipes you’ll ever make! It’s so rich, creamy and chocolaty that you’ll forget it has avocados in it. And for those of you on diet restrictions, it’s good to know that this is a vegan, dairy free, paleo, and gluten free treat!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

How Does Avocado Chocolate Mousse Taste?

I am guessing that some of you are skeptical about using avocado in a dessert. Well, to be perfectly honest, I was skeptical myself. After all, we have been conditioned to believe that an avocado is not a versatile fruit. We love it in foods like guacamole and salads, but most of us are not used to adding it to sweets.

Avocados go especially well with chocolate because of their thick, buttery consistency. The creamy texture makes them a perfect match for rich, decadent desserts. Even though medium avocados contain about 29 grams of fat, they are deceptively healthy. This is due to their high concentration of monounsaturated fat, which can lower LDL cholesterol.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can’t taste the avocado. What you will taste instead is a silky smooth mousse that is full of chocolate flavor with just the right amount of natural sweetener.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

How To Make Avocado Chocolate Mousse

In a food processor or blender, add the avocados, cocoa powder, coconut milk, honey (or Stevia), vanilla extract, and banana.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the container. Blend again, making sure all ingredients are blended thoroughly.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Remove the blending container and cover. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, until completely cold, before serving. Serve 1/3 cups of Mousse, topped with a sprinkling of chocolate chips and raspberries. Enjoy!

Why We Love Kale

Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables in the world. This superfood is low in calories, high in fiber, and loaded with an assortment of minerals and phytonutrients. Among the many health benefits it provides are detoxification, heart support and cancer prevention.

How To Give Kale A Softer Texture

Although many people love the crunchy toughness of raw kale, many others prefer their kale to be softened before eating. This can easily be accomplished by “massaging” the kale with a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt. The key is to rub the leaves with your fingers right up to the point where they begin to wilt. Not only will this process tenderize the kale, but it will also reduce the bitter taste of the leaves.

Crunchy Asian Kale Salad

Variations For Crunchy Asian Kale Salad

In addition to what the recipe calls for, you can also top your asian kale salad with crumbled bacon, chopped rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, chopped steak, chopped egg, chopped peanuts or pecans, crunchy noodles or any of your other favorite toppings.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats

These savory Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats are healthy, easy to make and low carb (keto approved). This recipe is a perfect way to add vegetables to your diet WITHOUT sacrificing taste! They are loaded with flavor and make delicious main courses or appetizers.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats

What are Zucchini Boats?

Zucchini Boats are created by slicing a zucchini in half lengthwise and hollowing it out with a spoon. This essentially creates a “boat” for you to fill up the zucchini with your favorite ingredients.

I have found that zucchini is a perfect vessel for stuffing any kind of cheese, meats, or dips into. I regularly choose it over chips, breads, and crackers because it’s a much healthier alternative.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats

How do you make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats?

Once you’ve made your “boat”, then combine chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce and ¼ cup cheese in a stand mixer.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Next, spoon the mixture into the zucchini boats, pressing down. Pile extra mixture on top until the boats are overflowing slightly. Add the remaining cheese and buffalo sauce over the top.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Now it’s time to bake for 15 to 20 minutes. You will know it is done when the cheese is melted and the zucchini tender.

How do you make the Blue Cheese Sauce?

In a food processor, blend the blue cheese crumbles and the heavy whipping cream until thick. For the next step, slowly add milk until a desired consistency is reached. Now you are ready to serve your Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats!

White Bean and Farro Salad

April 6, 2019 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. Leave a Comment

This healthy White Bean and Farro Salad is packed with flavor and hearty enough for a main course. What makes it special is Farro, my new favorite grain! It’s a delicious and chewy whole grain with a mild nutty flavor. It has more protein and fiber than wheat and is especially rich in magnesium and B vitamins. I love it so much that I have been using it as a replacement over rice and pasta.

White Bean and Farro Salad

This quick and easy salad recipe has only six ingredients. The ease of preparation is sure to make your hectic day a little less stressful.

white bean and farro salad

You will want to follow the instructions that come with the specific Farro you purchase. Most directions will say to add Farro and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Then you will want to reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer anywhere from 25-40 minutes. The Farro should be tender and all of the liquid should be absorbed.

Although it’s not necessary, you can speed up the cooking time of Farro by soaking it beforehand. Simply add enough cold water to submerge the grain completely, put a lid on it, and then refrigerate for 8-24 hours.

White Bean and Farrow Salad

Four pantry ingredients is all it takes to make the easiest Red Wine Vinaigrette ever. This classic vinaigrette recipe is super versatile, only takes a few minutes to whisk together, and always tastes delicious! To save time, I prepare it while the Farro is cooking.

White Bean and Farro Salad

Now it’s time to add the Farro, white beans, kale, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and pepitas in a large mixing bowl.

White Bean and Farro Salad

Toss until mixed, pour the vinaigrette over the salad, toss again and then enjoy this fantastic White Bean and Farro Salad!
