Broccoli Salad - Hubby’s Favourite

 This is the BEST Broccoli Salad!  It’s hearty, easy to throw together, keeps well, and hubby’s favourite salad, hands down.  I make at least one big batch of this every week, and vary it only slightly, just for fun.


Assemble your ingredients.  Measure with love.  If you love cranberries, add more of them, or use raisins.  If you like it extra creamy, use sour cream as well as Greek yoghurt, or homemade mayonnaise.  If you’re out of sunflower seeds, use pepitas… this recipe is easy that way.

In a bowl, layer:

Broccoli (I trim the stems and have them as an afternoon snack, or shred them into a mixed slaw)
Marinated white onions or raw red onion (finely diced) or green onions, to taste
Greek yoghurt / sour cream combo (2 Tbsp or more)
Dried Cranberries 
Toasted sunflower seeds or pepitas 
Shredded cheddar cheese (or whatever cheese you have on hand)
Olive oil (to loosen the yogurt / sour cream)
Splash of white wine vinegar / lemon juice, to taste
Season with salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, to taste

Stir, taste, adjust the seasonings, you’re the boss.


Watch your loved ones devour this salad!  It’s soooo tasty!

I layer mine on top of kale (for extra greens) and a tangy chili lime black bean and summer corn salad (recipe coming soon).  This plate was super satisfying… amazing with some smoky grilled steak… it hits all the flavour notes of sweet, savoury, smoky, and bitter.  
Hope you’re inspired to try it!
