Broccoli Salad: An Old Favorite! (Easy Reader Recipes Book 14)
Contents:
Nope — the broccoli goes in raw! You want to cut the florets small so that you get a bite with all of the different ingredients, though. That will take away some of the crunch and the raw taste. All you do is whisk the three ingredients together — easy peasy! Nutrition information provided as an estimate only. Various brands and products can change the counts.

This recipe was originally posted September 23, , and republished in Thanks for not getting lost in the pumpkin and apple recipes that are popping up right now. What a great craving to have! Broccoli is so good for us! And I must say, it is nice to get a break from all of those Fall recipes. I love broccoli, and I know that I would love this salad. Thank you for sharing!
I love, love, love this salad!! I just don't make it much with the sugar and mayo! It's great to bring to picnics though, thanks! Yum, this reminds me of a recipe that we always had at family potlucks. I am not blogging about fall flavors yet either — it's still 85 degrees in Virginia!! I used cheddar and followed the recipe exactly. Such a fabulous recipe you have here…will prepare it again! We really appreciate and value your hard work to prepare these creative and nourishing dishes.
This came together in under 10 minutes and perked up a sad head of broccoli from Target.
Broccoli Salad with Lighter Creamy Dressing
The cheddar cheese was perfect. Thanks for another delicious, healthy recipe. Thank you so much, Kate, and wishes for every good thing in the new year! Tried the salad this weekend and loved it. Pretty much stuck to the recipe except for the pumpkin seeds.
Favorite Broccoli Salad
This sounds super tasty! What other kind of cheese would go well in this? Cheddar is kinda expensive here. This was pretty simple to throw together on Sunday for lunches during the week. I used half almonds and half sunflower seeds but otherwise as written. Nice and crunchy and excellent flavors. The combination of flavors and texture is great.
Thanks for sharing and for your review!
Me and my husband had this for dinner.. It was so lush.. It was so nice.. It was a present from my husband! I absolutely love it.. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay thank you Kate!!!!!!!!! Than you, Jazmine for your very kind words. Also, I do so appreciate the support. It has a lot of wonderful recipes and tips in there as well. Let me know what you think of the book on Amazon too! I just realised I left the review on the wrong recipe doh! I meant to leave it on the broccoli, Arugula and lentil salad! Love a bit o broccoli!
Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature before serving. I consider humble old broccoli to be a total super food, and this salad is loaded with broccoli. The only extra thing I did was add some tahini to the dressing to make it super creamy. My mom would soak it in a saltwater mix to draw out any bugs. Thanks for sharing this fab recipe: If you hate raw broccoli, though, you can blanch the florets.
I will leave the best review ever on amazon also! Love, love your book!! After reading the comments, I made your salad with feta instead of cheddar and added baby kale — OMG delicious. Thanks so much—this was delicious! Crunchy, full of texture and very satisfying. Perfect for trying to make up for all the chocolate treats that were in my stocking recently. Will definitely be my go-to Broccoli Salad recipe!
Thank you for the review, Linda. Love this recipe because it has so much broccoli my favorite. Kate, would you ever consider making a Broccoli and Cheddar Soup recipe? Glad to hear that, Catherine! I will add it to my list of recipes to consider. Thank you for your review! My husband and I devoured a whole batch of this for dinner And I usually hate raw broccoli I made second batch right away and put it in the fridge to marinate for tommorrow!
If you would want to leave a star review since you liked it so much, that would be wonderful! Definitely putting this one into my go-to pile for make-head lunch salads. I used rice broccoli from Trader Joes, which gave the salad a nice texture consistency. Thanks for another amazing creation! Just made this salad for the second time — LOVE it!!! This time I used the seeds. Thanks for another outstanding recipe!! Thanks so much for the review! We had this last night as a Super Bowl side dish. We did leave out the onions, but you have converted this non-raw broccoli lover into a fan!
This is a fantastic salad. I appreciate the detailed instructions you provide — like exactly how to toast the sunflower seeds! I have never done that before, and wow were they good!! I made it exactly as written except I omitted the cheese and used agave instead of honey. Thank you for saying that about the instructions, Vicki!
I do try to make them as detailed and clear as possible to make you successful with the recipe. I appreciate the review as well! I made it for my boyfriend and I and we gobbled it right up. I often get stuck in salad ruts so this was a much welcome change to my routine. Keep the unique salad recipes coming! I may be guilty of eating out of the bowl myself! I refrained from making the original broccoli salad recipe because of the mayonnaise and sugar. Your recipe is brilliant, delicious and healthy. I made it last night! My husband and I love it. I even took some to work for lunch.
I did some research and read that eating too much raw cruciferous veg can be harmful — https: Thanks for sharing, Dan! I know there are a lot of different opinions out there about food sensitives of all kinds. I believe it is about the particular person. Also, everything is about balance.: Yes, definitely — I reckon balance is key. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well: I made this and looooved it, tasted even better the next morning xx.
This was easy and SO yummy! I followed the recipe exactly but just left out the cheese. My daughter had 2 bowls of it she liked it so much: Thank you for sharing and for your review. Thank you for this refreshing salad. Got to go now making the salad for my son to taste later this evening. Hi, thank you for sharing this awesome recipe. Glad you think so!

If you wish to leave a star review since you thought it was perfect, I would appreciate it. Easy to make and full of great contrasting flavors. Rave reviews from all around the table. Finally, a healthy dressing for this salad!!
I have gone through numerous others and they all call for sugar, mayo and sour cream was beginning to feel defeated in the low calorie healthy twist for this salad. I really like this salad, very easy to make, this is the second time I have made it. It is very good after letting the salad sit in the fridge for 20 minutes but it is even better the next day. Brought it to work and was asked for the recipes.
Thank you for the comment and star review.
Is broccoli salad good for you?
Have to keep myself from eating it right now: Great addition to the regular salad rotation at our house. Hubby loves it, too. I made this last night for dinner and just had it for lunch. Thank you so much! I make this recipe almost every week — that and the kale salad from your cookbook!!
I love them both — now I need to try making some of the others. Just made this and we will make it again and again!!!!! We almost ate the entire salad in one sitting! We used cherries and Kerrygold aged cheddar!! Hi Kate, I just made this and holy brocc-o-licious!!! Followed the recipe to a T. Couple of hints for your readers: I dice a whole onion, then put in a bowl and cover with cold water.
I let them soak for a good couple of hours, draining the water once or twice and rinsing, then back in the bowl and cover with water again. I keep the drained bowl in the crisper, well sealed of course, and then I always have raw onion to add to salads, etc. Thanks for another fantastic recipe, Kate!! We all were crazy about it and I sent the recipe to my parents and 5 siblings. Three Bean Wild Rice Salad. Popcorn Shrimp Taco Salad. For all bacon recipes, go HERE. Sign up to get emails when I post new recipes!
This truly is the best broccoli salad I have ever eaten! I have tried the one or other recipe, but this salad is my personal favourite so far. I dislike grapes, so I substituted them with mandarin-orange slices and believe me, this just rocks!

Ingredients in a Broccoli Salad Recipe
I made it as a side to go with cast iron steaks. I came close to making it as written. I cut up all the veggies the night before as well as frying the bacon and toasting the almonds. I put each item into its own plastic bag and refrigerated them all. I also made the dressing and put it in a jar in the refrigerator.
The next afternoon, 10 minutes before serving, I emptied all the bags into a bowl, stirred in the dressing and served it to compliments. So easy for a party, tasting fresh and summery!
