Notes
- Tips and Tricks
- Make Ahead Instructions
- Our broccoli salad with bacon can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Store the broccoli salad in an airtight container until ready to use. Toss salad together a couple times before serving.
- If making the salad more than a day ahead of time, hold off on adding the cashews until you're ready to serve it. This will prevent the cashews from getting soggy.
- Cut the broccoli into small, bite sized pieces. It makes all the difference in the world. I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten broccoli salad at the market and the florets are kept whole and huge! If the pieces are too big it makes it very difficult to eat and way less enjoyable.
- Don't be afraid to use the stalks, they're delicious! Broccoli stalks are just as nutritious as broccoli florets and provide a really great crunch to the overall salad.
- If making the broccoli salad recipe over 1 day in advance, don't add the cashews until just before serving. This will ensure the cashews don't get soggy from the dressing and keep their great, crunchy texture!
- Don't skip out on the Zante currants! They provide tiny bursts of tart flavor to our broccoli salad recipe which compliments the creamy dressing so well!
