Sweet Broccoli Salad

For years, broccoli was not my favorite food. As a child, I avoided it completely and even as a young adult, I just couldn’t bring myself to like the texture until…

I tasted broccoli salad. Now, my body seems to crave it continuously. There’s no longer a revolt going on. Okay, maybe it wasn’t an all-out revolt but it was close. It was an uprising. Like the scene in the classic comedy Daddy Day Care when the children begin throwing their veggie-o’s at the marketing executives…

Those were scary times. I’m happy to say broccoli and I are now at peace.

Slightly roasting the broccoli in the oven, blending it with the dressing and topping it with slivered almonds makes the perfect combination of crunchy and sweet. If you make it, let me know what you think. And, if you have a favorite way of making broccoli, share in the comments below!
