Tasty Broccoli Salad

This recipe was the one that my mom always got asked to bring to family gatherings. It is tasty, can easily be doubled or tripled, and the leftovers are just as good as the day you made it! It is one that you can have less guilt about grabbing seconds and it so tasty, even the kiddos will eat it!

RECIPE
“Broccoli Salad”

Tips

• Dressing can be adjusted based on taste
• I like Craisins for added sweetness
• Can use Miracle Whip if preferred (then cut down on sugar a bit)
• Gets better as the dressing soaks into the broccoli.
• Can add shredded Cheddar Cheese for more flavor!
