Yesterday I bought 25 pounds of fresh, organic broccoli from a local farm here where I live. They had too much so I got a good deal. Do you know how much broccoli 25 pounds is? It is a lot! I spend a lot of my day blanching and freezing all my broccoli so I could use it with our dinners in the future. I saved a few broccoli crowns to make a broccoli salad. One of my cooking clubs met last night and I was able to try out not one, but two different broccoli salads, for the *gasp* first time ever. I did not know what I was missing. Please make this salad. It is delicious. It is so fresh and light, and you can add your favorite nut or raisin/craisin/golden raisin, etc. that you would like. I chose raisins and almonds because I actually had those in my pantry. So with all the broccoli that is in season right now, let's make some broccoli salad! Enjoy!
