In this recipe, the broccoli is raw, but made with a light vinaigrette. Allowing it to sit for a few minutes breaks down the broccoli just enough, but make this your own. If you hate raw broccoli, you can lightly blanch it. Add a bit of cheddar cheese. You can even use dried cranberries if that’s what you prefer.
And one of the best things about this recipe, it packs seamlessly into a lunch box or picnic basket. It gets better when it sits for a bit and you don’t even have to worry about the mayo going bad.
