Tangy Keto Broccoli Salad

There’s some erythritol in the dressing to replace the sugar found in many broccoli salad recipes.  If you don’t like a sweeter dressing, then feel free to omit it entirely.  If you’re not able to eat dairy, then you could also skip the cheese, and it would still be great.  As you can see, this salad is versatile and can be easily changed to suit your tastes.
