Crunchy Broccoli Salad

Here's a new salad they served at work recently and I thought it was pretty good and probably fairly WW friendly. I ran the numbers and a 3/4 cup serving is 3 WW PointsPlus:

Crunchy Broccoli Salad

8 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 bunch thinly sliced green onions
1 cup grapes
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup sunflower kernels
¼ cup real bacon crumbled

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, onions and grapes. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar and sugar. Drizzle broccoli and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels and bacon. Chill until serving. This yields 10 servings.

Mixed Berry Crumble

Eating Healthy, for some reason makes me hungry/crave sweets at times. After eating a decent dinner, I'm ready for something like Cake or Pie or Anything bad for me! :) But if I eat a huge "oh my I'm so stuffed I don't think I could eat anything else!" SO.... for those times when I'm in a crave its always nice to have a sweet dessert that isn't LOADED with garbage :)

I have not tried this, but think it looks amazing!
