Easy Broccoli Salad Recipe

Everytime I make this Easy Broccoli Salad recipe, I get asked for copies of the recipe. It’s so delicious and not to mention healthy! I’m not really a fan of Broccoli, but I love raw broccoli! If you would like a slightly softer broccoli, you can blanch it for a minute. I like to let broccoli salad sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. That way the ingredients can marinate together! Hope you enjoy this easy broccoli salad recipe!
