My kids love broccoli when I make it like this. I have tried it with raw broccoli and lightly steamed, but we prefer it raw. When steamed the flowers retain a lot of water and it gives a watery aspect to the entire salad, so I don’t recommend it. The dressing for this salad can also be used for a basic coleslaw or carrot slaw as well.

I’m a little food obsessed. I always have been. I don’t eat to live; I live to eat. I’m not a professional chef. At best I’m an interested amateur, a home cook with some knowledge and skills. What I am, though, is a planner. I like to know what’s happening, what’s coming up, and what might happen, so I can plan accordingly.
