I was wondering if the sauce is sweet?
If so, is there another sauce you could suggest?
Thanks ?
This is a little sweet but I’ve not made a broccoli salad without a sweet dressing.
Silly question but do you cook the brocoli?
Not a silly question at all Claire! I use raw broccoli in this salad recipe.
This recipe was absolutely delicious. It was so good that I had to make a second batch a few days later.
So glad to hear that Kaylee! Thank you for sharing and thank you so much for the positive review!
