Easy Broccoli Salad Recipe

This broccoli raisin salad is quick and easy and you’ll only need 5 basic ingredients to make it.  

• Organic broccoli florets. Chop the broccoli into even bite size pieces
• Celery. We add celery to this salad for the extra crunch
• Almond slivers. You could swap out the almond slivers for sliced almonds or pistachios
• Raisins. These add a delicious sweetness that goes really well with the light curry dressing. Use golden raisins or  dried cranberries if you prefer.
• Red onion. Adds a lot of flavor. I always soak red onion in a cup of water before adding to my salads. Soaking onion (sliced or chopped) for about 10 minutes takes the bite out of onion leaving it with a much more mellow flavor.

Variations

• Toss in sunflower seeds instead of slivered almonds
• Use golden delicious raisins or dried cranberries instead of raisins.
• If you are not a fan of raisins, then you can toss in red grapes sliced in half.

How to Make Broccoli Raisin Salad

1. Make dressing.  Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to blend.  Refrigerate until ready to serve the salad.
2. Steam the broccoli.  Steam broccoli until slightly tender but still has a crunch.  You can also skip this step if you prefer a raw salad.
3. Mix ingredients. Add the broccoli, celery, almonds, raisins, and onion to a large mixing bowl.  Toss to combine.
4. Dress salad. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and toss until lightly coated.

Broccoli Salad Dressing

The easy homemade broccoli salad dressing is creamy and delicious with a light curry flavor.  Just whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.

• Olive oil mayonnaise
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Ground curry
• Ground ginger

Can I Make This Salad Ahead Of Time?

You can make this salad 1 day ahead of time, but leave the almonds out until you ready to serve the salad. Be sure to store the salad in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. As it chills in overnight, the flavors will meld together and the salad will be even more flavorful. 

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure the salad is not left out of the refrigerator for longer than 2 hours since it contains mayonnaise and Greek yogurt and can spoil.
