BROCCOLI SALAD | the perfect party salad recipe

[@AC-pf1ne]

Just a little tip.. whenever i take this dish to church functions, etc.. I put my broccoli in the food processor and pulse it a few times.. It's more enjoyable if you are not trying to bite and chew down the big pieces of broccoli.. Older people love it because they usually have a lot of dental work, etc. :)

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

I just lightly steam my broccoli first. Easier to eat, and easier to obtain the nutrients.

[@HeideHoney]

AC...I love you! Thanks for remembering us seniors. 💝

[@tracyrobinson9442]

You are doing well being a very good friend to many people! Thank you for sharing your big heart and your consideration for the elderly! Love from Vancouver BC CANADA 💗

Awesomeness

[@K777angel]

Very cool

[@stellaphan9091]

My sister-in-law makes this dish in virtually every party and I love it.

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

I have made this for years, love it. I lightly steam my broccoli first. People appreciate that. Nutrients are more available and it is easier to eat. Thanks!

[@Downshiftology]

Definitely one of my favorite salads to make as well!

[@lesiebrown2509]

Yessss I was going to say that too ..lightly steam the broccoli

[@Southerngirl7305]

I like your idea of steaming the broccoli .

[@vilmaduquaine8121]

When you say lightly steam. How long is that? 5 minutes?

[@B_Bodziak]

If you want the salad to stay to keep overnight and stay more fresh in the fridge for 4 full days of leftovers, I suggest skipping the steaming or blanching. It makes the salad a bit watery.

[@UghUgh1234]

Broccoli salad!! A southern backyard BBQ party staple!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Yes! It's the best. :)

[@suzieparis6821]

I substituted pecans for sunflower seeds n chopped granny smith apple.. anything u add to this is wonderful

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys - if you've been following my Instagram stories this is the salad that I've been eating over and over for the last two weeks. It's SO darn good! In fact, I think I'll have to make it again this weekend and take it to the beach. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo - Lisa

[@BitterSong28]

Made it today. Best broccoli anything that I’ve ever had!

[@Thingsyourollup]

Thank you for not making this video a "short"

[@connie8266]

You make recipes so easy and uncomplicated. Ur technique is clean, ur explanation so right on point. Thank you

[@Downshiftology]

Aww, thanks so much! Happy you're enjoying all my recipes and videos. :)

[@mariamariscal5616]

connie sanet I agree 👍

[@marklicon1329]

I’ve made this salad since I was about 14, so wow, forty years! It’s a family favorite for gatherings and I’ve tweaked it with different dried fruits, nuts but I tend to never change the broccoli, red onion and the homemade dressing. Always good fresh, even better the next day, so if I’m voluntold to make it, it’s always ahead of time to prep the day before, lol! I was graced with the recipe from a church friend, her husband was our bishop, they were beautifully aged even then. She’d had the recipe for decades. I’ve shared the salad and the recipe all this time because it’s just so good!

[@raineynight]

Yum! Throw some diced apple in and even better.

[@Outrageous86]

I love green grapes in mine! And sun flower seeds

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

It (apple) would turn brown and not keep as well as the rest. I guess you could slow the process with lemon juice.

[@ilovegoodsax]

I'd throw in some chopped cashews.

[@marshallmom1962]

I love it w apple snd dried cranberries.

[@marshallmom1962]

Judt stean the stock. It's delish!!

[@clrs2384]

Just made this salad for my daughter's graduation party. I had to tweak it a bit due to ingredients I had on hand, but basically the same, and I could have made TWICE the amount I did! People LOVE this salad - I had folks asking for the recipe & several told me "I don't even LIKE broccoli"!! Thank you!

[@suzieparis6821]

Thank you..beautiful mayo..had this yrs ago but woth apples n grapes..gonna make soon

[@songbirdforjesus2381]

Great clean recipe. Here in the South, it's grated cheddar or yellow raisins. This is a step up. Yum.

[@VWHNeal1018]

This is a wonderful recipe. I add carrots for color. It has the best flavor profile and nice crunchiness. A winning recipe.

[@MiauMichigan]

I finally found a salad recipe without cucumber. Thank you so much

[@Downshiftology]

I’m so glad you found a salad you love!

[@Silver.Forest]

You can also slice off the outer skin off the big stem (slice down until you reach the lighter green section) . Absolutely delicious. It has many nutrients in the stem. Give it a try.

[@melodylb3934]

yay a broccoli salad without a bunch of sugar! thx for sharing

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy 😊

[@thetruequeen6747]

Thanks for this mouth watering broccoli salad 🥗 recipe. I love ❤️ this salad so much but have never made it but I will now cause it’s delicious and very affordable.

[@egc3729]

I just found your channel and am now completely obsessed!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Yay! So happy to hear that. Thanks Gabi! :) X

[@garthmartens3899]

Perfect. We made it with chicken and Raisins as we didn't have bacon and cranberries. Delicious. Thank you

[@Lucy.andress]

Missing the grapessssssssss 😍😍 HIGHLY recommend. My mom uses sliced almonds instead of sunflower and doesn’t add cheese it’s heaven and edible crack

[@Dani-km7wl]

Thank you so much for all of your recipies! I am so tired of youtube recipies that only look good but wont taste at all! I have 5 kids and you are a huge help in feeding my family healthy! We love your style - in every way! Hugs from Germany

[@Downshiftology]

Aww, thanks so much Daniela! I'm so happy to hear you and your family are enjoying my recipes. :) x

This is a really old recipe. I made this 25 years ago 🙂. Great to see it come back.

I love Broccoli salad. Always get it when we go out

[@rociothompson8030]

Thank you Lisa for a delicious and easy recipe. I made it for my church group of ladies. Everyone raved about it. Thank you 🙏

[@Downshiftology]

Amazing! Glad everyone enjoyed this recipe Rocio 😊

[@LiseGray-l3c]

Lisa, this is a great recipe, this broccoli recipe, is the same as my partner usually makes, but without the bacon, also she adds, red peanuts for a crunch! she's had a lot of compliments over it... I'm going to make it the way you do next time! thank you

[@bellababygirl1356]

Just made this...even the mayo, it's ridiculously easy and sooooooooooooo delish!!! I didn't have the exact same ingredients but that speaks to the versatility of this recipe, next time I'm going to use dried cherries I've been in a food rut lately and the recipes on your channel are giving me life girl! 🥰❤

[@ElizabethMay588]

I never heard about broccoli salad 🥗 before and this food today looks awesome.

[@Downshiftology]

I love it because it's so easy to make and full of flavor. Definitely give it a try! :) x

[@debanjanabhattacharya4719]

Please share a video on how you set up your patio herb garden. I have a teeny tiny balcony where I would love to have an herb garden. Love looking at the lush greenery and also cooking with it.

[@Downshiftology]

I'll try to do a video on it soon! And I'm with you. I love looking at the lush greenery and cooking with it! :) x

[@tinakite2517]

I'm hooked on your KZbin and website! I love watching multiple videos on Sunday as I prep for meals for the week. Today I tried this recipe and substituted ingredients I had on hand. I used pepitas in place of sunflowers, goat feta cheese, shallots in place of red onion and and red peppers for a sweetness since I didn't have dried fruit. I also lightly steamed the broccoli just until bright green and crunchy, as raw is a bit hard for me to digest well. It's delish! Thank you!

[@Downshiftology]

Awesome substitutions! Well done Tina!

[@Traveler-rf8ye]

Looking forward to trying this , I generally don't like salads as they usually contain some kind of vinegrette dressing. I'm very sensitive to the taste and smell of vinegar so I'm happy I found this.

[@48statenomad]

My mother has been making this for years and it is still a hit everytime!

[@Downshiftology]

Awesome! 😊

[@curanderoverde]

Delicious...the broccoli salad looks good too

[@glamelhershkovitz1664]

I love it especially the mayo part. Thank you.

[@suemitchell2200]

My favorite salad. Have to make the mayonnaise for a healthier dressing. Yum.

[@makaiyasimmons7127]

I love broccoli salads! This one looks perfect

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks Makaiya! Hope you enjoy my version. :) x

[@marklicon1329]

Ooh, goat cheese! That looks delicious!

[@ZC94601]

When I worked at wholefoods, I loved to eat this salad. They call it broccoli crunch salad

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, I used to get it from there as well! So yum! But now I make it at home. ;)

[@priscillasolanki6390]

Great recipe! I would lightly steam my broccoli keeping it's crunch instead of raw. It still is a good salad 😊

[@novembersky3749]

agree

[@TheoSmith249]

Disagree. No need to.

[@cawo619]

Your supposed to let it sit overnight it becomes tender afterward

[@zeeechanged5352]

It seems that way but letting it sit overnight makes it tender but my mom has problems digesting raw veggies so she steam hers also.

[@LiseGray-l3c]

t the way I've made it, is so delicious... with Mexican red peanuts, and there is such a crunch!!!

[@amokov]

Great new vision of a broccoli salad. Thank you!

[@ahnaahna7278]

Thks. Great recipe! I cook a safe healthy(no nitrates)bacon on stove top…..so that I can use the grease for other cooking. We add the cranberries/and pecans. I just put coleslaw dressing on it….toss. I like the partial blanching of broccoli. Ahna. Atlanta Ga

[@richardgurtner7955]

Great Job*******Looks delicious. You are as sharp as your big knife******THX will try very soon

[@markkristynichols845]

Found this recipe from your blog and new sub! I will say that I love that you have the recipe title in the thumbnail cuz I can’t read the recipe when browsing your videos so thanks for that! Making this tonight!!! ❤️ from Kristy in Missouri 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Downshiftology]

Sounds great!😊

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

Oh I really like the beaker you are using with your immersion blender. Wish I had one.

[@marynordseth2788]

Haven't seen a more delish recipe for anything. Been wanting to get back to making home made mayo.

[@commonsensecorner7275]

In my days of eating pork, eating raw broccoli and tolerant of lactose, I would’ve been all over this salad! Buuuut, I would substitute the bacon for my salmon or chicken. Sparing the details, but I literally passed out the last time I had raw broccoli while in undergrad, my roommates had gone home for the summer, I chose to stay and take classes. I have no idea till this day, how long I was on the floor! So, I would certainly have to steam the broccoli. 😬

[@CHEYENNERAIN1]

I really have to say that this looks so delicious and fresh. A must try at home, Namaste

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy this recipe 😊

[@2075vj]

Oh no! I don’t eat pork 😮. I have to think of something else to replace it. Thanks for sharing 😊. Happy cooking 🥗

[@alicegauteng2358]

I will definitely give it a try. Quick question, I have a vitamix blender instead, would I be able to make mayo in that?

[@empresslovee1]

Was at a prom gathering today and somebody made broccoli salad that was sooo good !! So I came on KZbin to see if I can find a receipt…this recipe sounds even better !! It’s something about the dried cranberries that made it POP and, she didn’t have the goat cheese in hers (I like the ideal)… I don’t even like raw broccoli but I can totally get w/this recipe !! ❤👍🏽👍🏽

[@Superfatcat2525]

I subbed out ham for the bacon. Love this salad.

Broccoli noodles is such a good idea!!

[@Downshiftology]

They're so good! I'll have to do some new recipes with them. :)

[@almashorts5665]

Healthy for sure

[@CatT1987]

I'm not a big cranberry or sunflower seed fan so I would substitute chopped walnuts and just leave any kinds of seeds out. Maybe add celery as I love celery. But the recipe looks good and healthy and I'm definitely going to try it.

[@Downshiftology]

You can definitely adapt this recipe in a variety of ways (I added shredded chicken to mine this weekend) and celery would be a great add. :) Hope you enjoy it!

[@CatT1987]

Okay wow! Now you have my mouth really watering. Chicken would be GREAT to add to it and basically you would pretty much have a whole meal. Thanks for your suggestion!
