Taste of the Sisterhood – Crunchy Broccoli Salad
Every year, my street hosts a Progressive Dinner. Each course is covered by two families and one of those families hosts everyone on the street.
Last night, we were in charge of hosting everyone for Soups and Salads. We needed something quick and easy to whip up for about30 people. This Crunchy Broccoli Salad definitely fits the bill.
It’s super quick and easy to make, it got some rave reviews from everyone at the dinner. I loved that it was a nice little break from the normal, everyday lettuce type salad.
