Broccoli Salad is made of finely cut up uncooked brocolli flowerets, with a creamy dressing and dried cranberries.
I have made many variations of Broccoli Salad over the years, but my favourite variation is below. Feel free to substitute your favourite nut or seed or cheese. This is a good winter salad because brocolli is still plentiful and cheap in the winter. However, it also makes a nice salad to take to potlucks year round. The recipe is easily doubled.
Enjoy!
