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.
