I love interesting salad recipes that combine unique flavors and textures. One of my favorites is Easy Fresh Broccoli Salad. It’s a delicious alternative to everyday lettuce salads and is very fast to prepare. This creamy broccoli salad pairs broccoli with walnut, dried cranberries and a tangy but sweet dressing. It’s a great side dish, but also satisfies as a main dish. I love packing it for lunch as it holds up well to travel and refrigeration.
This salad is easy to adapt to vegetarian or vegan dietary requirements. Simple choose a mayonnaise that is vegetarian or vegan.
Are you a broccoli lover? If you’re not you should consider giving broccoli it another try. It’s a good source of protein, dietary fiber, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium.
