Broccoli Strawberry Salad Recipe
Description
Broccoli Strawberry Salad features raw broccoli florets combined with savory, mild Colby jack cheese cubes and juicy strawberries, which add sweetness and color. The dressing balances creamy mayonnaise with sugar and tangy vinegar, lightly coating the salad ingredients.
The salad is finished with toasted sliced almonds, which provide a crisp texture contrast to the softness of the cheese and the juiciness of the strawberries. Mixed just before serving, this salad retains the broccoli’s crunch and strawberry’s freshness.
This salad pairs well with summer meals or as a colorful addition to casual lunches. Since the dressing is mayonnaise-based, it's best served fresh to maintain crispness.
Ingredients
- 8 cups broccoli fresh florets
- 8 oz Colby jack cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 2 cups strawberry quartered, fresh
- 1/4 cup almonds toasted, sliced
Instructions
- Mix broccoli and cheese together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk your mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Pour over broccoli and toss to coat. Carefully stir in cut up strawberries; sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
