Who doesn’t love a good broccoli salad? This potluck favorite has been revamped a bit with a yogurt-based dressing while maintaining the things you love about it. Crisp raw broccoli, creamy dressing, soft cashews, sweet raisins, and zesty onions marry together wonderfully to create a dish worth sharing.
Learn to love the brassicas! Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are packed with nutrients like vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, and fiber. To retain as many nutrients as possible, use gentle cooking methods like steaming, and eat them raw, like in broccoli salad.
