Best Broccoli Salad

This broccoli salad recipe is a delicious cookout side dish! It features fresh broccoli, dried cranberries, and toasted nuts and seeds in a creamy dressing.

This broccoli salad recipe is one of my favorite side dishes. A creamy, tangy homemade dressing coats crisp broccoli florets, chewy dried cranberries, sharp red onion, and smoky roasted almonds and sunflower seeds. It’s my lighter spin on classic Midwest broccoli salad, and though you won’t find any cheese or bacon here, it’s every bit as delicious. Even salad skeptics love it. This broccoli salad recipe is easy to make, and even better, make ahead. A few hours or a day in the fridge gives the broccoli a chance to soften and soak up the dressing’s punchy flavor. Pack it…
