Your Paula Deen Broccoli Salad recipe is ready to serve!
I recommend sprinkling chili flakes or pepper on the salad for an extra hot punch.
If you prefer your salad to be extra crunchy, add some toasted nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews for a robust flavor, and raisins, just like I do.
You may add grapes, apple chunks, and broccoli to make the salad sweeter.
I add grated lemon zest to my salad dressing with white vinegar for a citrus flavor and aroma; you may also try it.
I customize my salad by adding chopped mint or cilantro leaves for a fresh, herby taste.
I often like my salad a little meaty, so you can try the same by adding boiled chicken cubes or stripes and bacon.
You can also try adding other vegetables to this salad along with broccoli, like carrots, celery, or bell peppers, to make it more flavorful.
