Creamy Broccoli Salad

I had a salad the other day that was so satisfying. It was a conglomeration of broccoli and cheddar cheese with a number of spices, some onion and almonds. Really tasty. Unfortunately, afterward I was regretting all that cheese intake and wanted to have something similar that was also lactose free.

The answer? Nutritional yeast. Add a pinch or more to any dish to give a savoury and delicious taste that resembles cheddar. Add some greek yogurt (lactose free plain) and some lemon juice and BAM= non-mayo based creamy wonder that is bound to satisfy during a busy work day.
