These Broccoli Salad with Strawberries and Avocados is great simple, make ahead, feel packaged side dish or potluck favorite that is fresh, crispy, sweet and savory!
It is packed with fresh strawberries, creamy avocado, crisp apples, salty sunflower seeds, crunchy pears, tangy feta and sweet dried cranberries. The textures and tastes of the Broccoli Salad are from the world and therefore is your dressing.
What I particularly love about this Broccoli Salad, apart from how it takes only minutes to throw together, that it really feels better when compared to a bit beforehand to cool, therefore you aren’t chopping and stressing in the last moment with someplace to be or guests coming. Rather, toss and cool, and you also get to chill out.
Potluck Broccoli Salads generally consist of sugar, mayonnaise, raisins, red onion, bacon and cheddar cheese, however my Broccoli Salad is rebelliously tasty twist.
I have swapped the cheddar with feta, the raisins for craisins and also the sweet mayo dressing to get a Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing. My Broccoli Salad is packaged with:
- strawberries
- avocado
- feta
- sunflower seeds
- pears
- dried cranberries
- apples
Even though I knew I loved this salad, I was blown away at exactly how sensational it’s! I guess nothing could prepare you for your ideal Broccoli Salad EVER!
Raw broccoli is standard for broccoli salads & provides the broccoli salad its own superb signature feel. If you have never had broccoli salad the fresh flavour feel is swoon worthy and it remains crunchy for days!
