This has always been a salad that I love and recently I saw that people have been adding cheese to Broccoli Salad. That sounded wonderful to me so I started adding cheese and it’s such a wonderful addition to this fresh, crisp salad. This is a staple in our house during the summer once our broccoli starts blooming.
I like to make this salad about an hour or two before serving so the dressing can add to the flavor, but be sure you eat this quickly as it won’t last long in your fridge.
