This easy Broccoli Salad is made with fresh broccoli florets, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, red onion and celery tossed in a light creamy dressing, perfect for holidays and potlucks.

Broccoli can be turned into many delicious dishes, like this salad. You may also like my Roasted Broccoli, my perfect Steamed Broccoli and my Creamy Broccoli with Bacon.

Creamy Broccoli Salad is one of our favorite dishes made with this green vegetable. It’s easy, delicious and perfect for holiday dinners (especially when you are assigned with bringing a side dish), weekend dinners, summer BBQ and potlucks. You will love the creamy dressing that is not loaded with mayo but lightened up with natural sour cream and honey in place of sugar.
