I really enjoy a good broccoli salad from time to time. I do parboil the broccoli for 3 minutes, as my husband prefers that. I love all kinds of flavors and textures in broccoli salad. I thought to myself how would chopped walnuts be on top of this salad for texture and looks. I loved it and I think you will too, if you like walnuts, otherwise use another nut or seed that you prefer.
1 lb chopped broccoli (0.45 kg)
1/3
cup diced red onion (75 mL)
1/3
cup cooked bacon bits (75 mL)
