Broccoli Salad

Sharing is caring!

One of my all-time favorite salads is Broccoli Salad. I usually make this when I am trying to clean out my refrigerator. It is a great way to get rid of veggies that are almost at the end of their life span, and you can add in other things as well.

To add crunch to this salad, I used a cup of trail mix we had left over from our last trip. It has pepita seeds, sunflower seeds, golden raisins, dried cranberries, and almonds in it. I just took the almonds out so all of my bites were the same size.

How to Make the Best Broccoli Salad

You can also just use some dried cranberries and sunflower seeds if you want.

This salad can be made up really quickly and holds up well to be left in the refrigerator all day. This would make a great potluck or picnic dish.

As you may notice in the picture, there is not a lot of extra dressing. I don't like really saturated salads, so I go light on the dressing.

It creates more while it sits in the fridge, so don't overdress it when you make it.
