Broccoli Salad

This is a keeper recipe! Made it vegan so used maple syrup and no cheese, and can’t imagine it any better!

ove the crunch of this salad. A nice change from Roasting the Broccoli. I did not have a red onion so used scallions in place. We ate the entire salad at one meal with Shrimp Alfredo. Delicious.

Made this yesterday exactly as the recipe is written! Delicious! Loved the flavors and a real treat to have a wonderful salad that is something different from lettuce options…so crisp and crunchy!
