Notes
- We prefer to use Frozen Broccoli for this salad because it's blanched and we like it better that way. Still crunchy, but not raw. You can use raw broccoli if you like it better. May sure you thaw the broccoli before making the salad.
- You can add nuts or savory granola for additional crunch
- Crumbled Feta Cheese. Buy a block of feta and crumble it yourself. You could also use goat cheese or vegan feta.
