BROCCOLI SLAW WITH TURKEY BACON AND WATER CHESTNUTS

Broccoli Slaw With Turkey Bacon and Water Chestnuts image

This popular potluck classic is lighter with a yogurt-based dressing. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayo, and 2 tsp sugar. But, I replaced it with 1/2 cup yogurt and 1 tsp Splenda. I had to make sure the waterchestnuts aren't dripping wet, otherwise the dressing will be watery. (Eating Well, Winter 2004)
