When I think of broccoli salad my mind usually conjures up an image of my mom's version which is loaded with cheese and bacon. Delicious but not exactly a good for you side dish! I can't remember where I originally found this recipe but I thought it was an easy switch and still tasted good.

This sounds wonderful I am going to try this today only I will blanch the broccoli just for 30 seconds and shock it in an ice bath. It will be a nice bright green and a sweeter flavor.
Printed and flagged as unique.
