Christina's Notes
- Add Crunch: Sunflower seeds or crushed walnuts add a nice crunch to the veggies.
- Short cut tip: Precut bagged broccoli can be used to save time.
- Variations: Raisins or dried cranberries or even grapes can be used to add a sweet taste.
- Alternate ingredient: Cauliflower can be added to the salad for color and flavor.
- Alternate cooking method tip: Par boil the broccoli in a pot with a little salt and then blanch for a softer broccoli for the salad.
- Dietary consideration tip: Plain greek yogurt can replace the mayo.
