picture shows shreddrd cheese but not recipe. how much?
thanks
You can add as little or much as you want of the cheese. This is the type of recipe that I just toss in the amount of what I want for each ingredient.
The broccoli salad looks like it has cheese in it. But the recipe has no cheese in n it.
You can add cheese to it Lori we just don’t always. This is one of those recipes that you can really add to it or take away things depending on what your family prefers.
I have only eaten cooked broccoli, and the image looks like it is raw, is this a raw salad?
Yes it is a raw salad.
thank you Jill, will have to give it a try this weekend when I get fresh veggies.
Dear Tawra. is this recipe in either of your cookbooks? I have them both. Sounds delicious.
Yes it is in volume 2 and I think it is one page 202. It should be in the index under broccoli salad.
Thanks for this recipe it sounds delicious!
This is a great recipe. Have been making it for years & even people who don’t like salads or greens like this!!
Hi, I’m going to try this. But without mayonnaise daughter can’t eat that. Just figured out why it’s not cooked broccoli. The vinegar and the sugar and mayo does the work for you. Brilliant way of serving broccoli.
