Broccoli Salad Recipe
Here's a version of the classic broccoli salad; a bit lighter on the
dressing, but you can always use less broccoli, adding more dressing and
goodies, to make it not "too" healthy!
Broccoli Salad is a great dish for picnics and potlucks. It might not be everyone's favorite vegetable, but when you dress it up like this, most everyone enjoys it.
