Broccoli Crunch Salad

I have a simple Broccoli Crunch Salad recipe for you today. I don’t really have much to say about this salad other than it’s the perfect thing to bring on a picnic, or to a BBQ. Growing up in Idaho my high school was right next to this market called the CO-OP, and I would go there a lot for their pre made salads at lunch. They also had a Broccoli salad there and I loved it so much. The crunch factor was intense, and also awesome because it wasn’t lettuce. I’m not really a fan of steamed or cooked broccoli, so in this form is really the only way I want to have it. Yum. Broccoli Crunch Salad for everyone!
