Broccoli Salad has been a staple in my kitchen ever since I found a version that Paula Dean had in one of her cookbooks. My version usually varies a little bit bit based on what’s in my fridge. The version here is my base recipe, but sometimes I’ll add a little shallot or red onion. Feel free to experiment and make your own version.
