Replace The Pasta And Potatoes In Cold Summer Salads With This Veggie
By EMILY BOYETTE
Who says potatoes and pasta have to be the only foundations for chilled salads? While these two staples are definitely delicious and classic, try something new and add this crisp, green, nutritious veggie to the summer cookout spotlight.
Broccoli salad makes for a perfect addition to your menu this grilling season, and it couldn't be easier to make and requires zero cooking. Simply inspect your broccoli for freshness, toss the salad together, and devour — and broccoli stores well, so you can keep it for salad another time.
Some broccoli salad recipes use Greek yogurt as the creamy base, but you can spruce it up by trying a mayonnaise dressing with honey and rice wine vinegar. After a few hours in the fridge, the flavors marry, the broccoli becomes tender, and you're guaranteed to be hooked at the first bite.
