AMERICAN SUMMER BROCCOLI
SALAD
This broccoli salad was over-the-top
good! Nothing like a delicious broccoli salad to take to barbecue and picnic get-togethers. It just says "summer!" The sweet sour dressing perfectly compliments this combination of ingredients. If you opt to leave the sweetener out, use apple cider vinegar. I associate broccoli salad with summer and good times during the summer months. It makes an easy side and no hot oven necessary to make the vegetables. I am making this salad again tomorrow! Yum!!

12 oz chopped, raw
broccoli (340 g)
