Broccoli salad is an addictive and fun side dish full of great color, texture, and flavor. Made with broccoli, perfectly cooked bacon, sweet dried cranberries, sliced almonds and sliced red onion for great texture and flavor in every bite.
This. Stuff. Is. Delicious. The greek yogurt dressing starts out kind of dry, so you need to let it rest in the fridge for a bit, but by the time its ready to eat its marinated to perfection.
