Recipe Notes
The nutritional value may vary depending on the ingredients used.
The broccoli salad can be served right away but it's best to allow for the one hour of chill time. This gives time for the broccoli time to soften up a bit from the dressing.
Hellmann's light mayonnaise is the mayo I used to make this salad.
