If you’ve ever had a Broccoli Salad before, you’ll understand the reason why this salad has become such a popular side dish at parties, buffets, and potlucks – it’s just so flipping GOOD!
My spin on this well-loved dish uses a few variant ingredients to keep it a bit lighter and more heart-healthy. The crunchy broccoli and walnuts are combined with onions and raisins, then topped with a creamy, sweet, and tangy dressing that is insanely delicious.
There are lots of variations to this salad, so you can definitely alternate/add/eliminate other ingredients if you want to shake things up.
Try it with carrots, bacon, pumpkin seeds, candied pecans, dried, cranberries, kale, or even roasted Brussels sprouts.
I highly recommend adding this as a side dish to one of your favorite dinners, or adding some grilled chicken to it and serving it as a lunch salad.
