This broccoli salad is one of my favorite summer sides and it's bursting with bright summer flavors! This recipe is great for summer parties, potlucks, and picnics. I've heard nothing but good things when I serve this. It's a dish that people will get seconds and thirds of! It also makes an awesome addition to a small family barbecue.
A sweet, flavorful avocado sauce makes this broccoli salad so creamy and satisfying. I usually serve the broccoli salad fresh, but it's also great after sitting in the fridge for a few hours. The broccoli will soften and the flavors of the salad will "marry."
I used fresh tomatoes in this recipe, but I want to try adding diced sun-dried tomatoes instead for a chewy, salty bite! How amazing does sun-dried tomato avocado broccoli salad sound? Mmm...
