Needed something light to add to Thanksgiving dinner this year. I started searching Pintetest for recipes and ideas.
I found several recipes for Broccoli salad nothing that I liked totally
I didn’t want to add nuts or seeds, I didn’t like the idea of vinegar dressing so I hit the drawing board and tested my very own recipe
This is a bit of a risk, I mean what if it doesn’t turn out? Well it doesn’t turn out then… I have pretty much gotten okay with that fact!
Here is my recipe

- Do not put dressing over the salad until 1-2 hours prior to serving
