My Story

The secret of the best broccoli salad is all in how you chop the broccoli. No one wants to bite into a big chunk of raw broccoli. All that pops into my mind is when Michael forces Kevin to eat broccoli and the look of horror on his face as he chews it, thick stalk first. ???? Office fans, anyone?? There will be no chewing for hours on tough broccoli stalks here! The trick to a Broccoli Salad that is ACTUALLY delicious and enjoyable to eat is chopping the broccoli VERY small. These little pieces are easier to chew and enjoy and most importantly there’s more surface area that the creamy dressing can seep into. ‘Cause really, it’s always about the condiments anyway.
