As the days get cooler, I prefer a heartier salad to accompany my proteins instead of having something leaf-based.
That’s why this broccoli salad was a great side to the roast chicken I cooked for dinner. It also is nice as a braai salad or it can be eaten on it’s own as a scrumptious work lunch or meat-free dinner option.
I added dried cranberries for a little tartness, but you can add raisins too if you’d like something a little sweeter in it. Or leave it our altogether. As I always say recipes are a guide and you can play around and adapt it to suit your own tastes.
Enjoy!
