Broccoli Salad
Summer is here and with that comes the heat. I am personally not a big fan of the heat. Fall is definitely more my jam, but here we are. Trying not to heat up the house and still eat dinner. The grill is always our best friend in the summer. We love the flavor the grill adds to food and it keeps the heat outside so the air conditioning doesn’t have to work harder than it already is.
While the grill is great you can’t always grill everything. I have found myself getting creative with salads to serve on the side of whatever meat makes it’s way to the grill that evening. We paired this broccoli salad with a big piece of steak, but really can’t go with anything. It can also be a meal in itself if you add chicken to it. There are endless possibilities and none of them are wrong.
