Hi everyone

I was wondering what I can substitue the ingredients for the following, that would be ok for me since I am in p1.

The ingredients for the dressing for broccoli salad are:

1 cup Miracle whip

2 tbsp vinegar

6 tbsp sugar

can I use Light of fat free miracle whip and 6 tbsp of spenda instead? do you think it will taste ok???

Light mayo would be fine (1 cup is quite a bit - how many servings does the salad make?) Maybe you could use 1/2 and then see how it is.

I agree with Cathy, especially on the splenda... Add half (3) then add a little more, tasting as you go, until you reach the proper sweetness.

That sounds perfect. And you can keep the vinegar in.... remember acidity slows down digestion according to the book (like sourdough bread).

thank you ladies for all your help. i am making it tomorrow for about 6 people. I'll let you know how it went. I am replacing the bacon with chicken bacon. it has a less fat and cal content than turkey bacon, and it s a bit cheaper.... wish me luck....
