Broccoli is a vegetable staple in my home all year round. It keeps well in the fridge, it's packed with nutrients, and everyone likes it. Fresh trumps cooked most days.

Julie's Notes: I wish I knew the source for this salad, but I don't. I've been making it for a few years and can't recall where I acquired it.
I LOVE broccoli salad!
