Broccoli Salad

This refreshing and crunchy salad is the perfect side dish to bring to your upcoming summer get together! Tangy and filling this may be the only side you need. I usually make this in the morning of our get together so it can sit in the fridge and soak in some. It’s always a hit and even my picky husband who is not a fan of salads begrudgingly said it was ok. Adapted from Cassandra Kennedy’s All Recipes Bodacious Broccoli Salad.
