Notes
- Don’t overdo the dressing. You can always add more later, but too much will weigh down the salad.
- Make it ahead! This salad tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for an hour or two - the flavors mingle beautifully.
- Use fresh, not frozen broccoli. Frozen tends to get mushy once thawed.
