Doctor Oz brought Ingrid Hoffmann, author of Simply Delicioso: A Collection of Everyday Recipes with a Latin Twist, on his show to teach us how to make healthy summertime recipes like this Broccoli and Celery Slaw Recipe – on the Dr Oz segment called Better By Half.  Dr. Oz and Ingrid Hoffmann had a Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Recipe and a Mini Cuban Fritas Recipe for Cuban Burgers too.

Ingredients:

1 medium-sized head of broccoli, stalks thinly sliced and florets chopped

4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the diagonal

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup Greek yogurt 0%

Zest and juice of 1 lime

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

½ cup golden raisins

Directions:

1.  Mix together the celery, red onion an broccoli in a large mixing bowl.

2.  Make the dressing in a separate bowl by mixing together the mayonnaise, lime juice, greek yogurt, zest, chili powder, cumin, sugar, pepper and salt.

3.  Pour the dressing on top of the vegetables and mix well.

4.  Let the slaw sit for at least 30 minutes and toss well.

5.  Sprinkle raisins on top before you serve.

A great diet tip to learn from this recipe is to cup back on mayonnaise in your recipes by using half mayo and half Greek Yogurt.  When you add a bunch of spices to your dressing, you will never notice the greek yogurt and you will cut back on tons of fat and calories – great Weight Loss Tip!
