Broccoli salad is a colorful, nutritious dish often served as a side in American cuisine, especially at picnics and potlucks. The base ingredient, crunchy broccoli florets, is typically mixed with shredded carrots, diced red onions, crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds, and sometimes raisins for a touch of sweetness. A creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar ties the flavors together. Packed with vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, broccoli is the star of this salad, supporting immune health and digestion. Add-ins like nuts and seeds provide healthy fats and protein. However, traditional versions can be higher in calories and fat due to the mayonnaise-based dressing and bacon. Opting for lighter dressing or reducing sugar can make the dish even more balanced. Fresh, flavorful, and versatile, broccoli salad is a vibrant way to enjoy nutrient-dense vegetables.
