Frequently asked questions
How do you cut broccoli for salad?
To prep broccoli for salad, simply cut the tree-looking florets into bite-sized pieces and trim off the tough stems. You can also peel and slice the stems if you want to add a little extra crunch too though!
Can you use frozen broccoli for broccoli salad?
We recommend fresh broccoli if possible, but you can use frozen broccoli if it’s more accessible. Just be sure to thaw it and lightly blanch it first to help keep its crunch.
What serves well with broccoli salad?
There are so many ways to enjoy it, whether as a meal or a side! You can pair it with pasta, sandwiches, soups, or even grilled protein like tofu with rice for a balanced plate.
Can you freeze salad with broccoli?
We don’t recommend freezing salads with broccoli, as the texture of the veggies and creamy dressing will change once thawed. Enjoy fresh for the best crunch and flavour.
Can you make broccoli salad ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare broccoli salad in advance! The dressed salad will stay fresh in the fridge for about a day, but for the best texture, add the avocado just before serving. If you keep the undressed salad and dressing separate, it'll stay good for up to 3 days.

Super yummy! Will definitely make it again.
Delicious brocolli salad - instant hit with the family
¡Deliciosa!
The brocolli salad was very good, I am printing the recipe to make again!
OMG! The best broccoli salad I have ever tried ♥️
This is much like a salad we already make, but I have to try your version.
How much does one medium head of broccoli weigh?
Delicious. Quick and easy to make. The dressing was delicious
I only made the dressing for salad ingredients I already had in the fridge. We liked the dressing.
This was such a good salad! Wow. Such simple ingredients! Who thought Brocolli could be soooo good. I blanched it though.
Perfection! Great taste and texture!! Will certainly make again and again and again 🙌
This was so yummy! I had it yesterday and made it again today <3
loved it😍
The whole family loved it!!
When I was making this salad I felt crazy... Cuz who would eat raw broccoli? But because of all the positive comments I tried. And now I am crazy cuz I like to eat raw broccoli!!!! Amazing salad :)
Delicious! And quick!
Ok i hate raw broccoli but THIS OMG. I had an excellent meal. I really went out of my comfort zone with this one and payed extra care to chop the broccoli very finely si wouldn’t have too much of the taste. Everything was delicious! Thank you so much!
Soooo good! I shredded my broccoli stems to reduce waste and added some shredded carrots to up the veggie content which was perfect with all of the dressing!
Loved it! Easy and healthy 💛
We loved it!! 🥰🥰
Very good!
Was not expecting much. I just needed to use broccoli and avocado I had in the fridge. It turned out sooooo good!!! Hits all the rights spots. For sure will be making it again😋
First time trying raw broccoli. I’m amazed. So quick to prepare and delicious and nutritious!
Three portions of this salad can constitute a whole meal. Had it for dinner tonight, so I know 😋
Hello! Another add to my fave salads from PUL ❤️
I added an apple for extra crunch and freshness (or maybe I just like to add apples to salads😅)
Simple, quick, and delicious 🤗 Thank you ^^
This is so delicious! We have made this salad now for the fifth time and will continue making it. I adore the dressing so much😍 We have added some chopped sweet peas and some baby spinach leaves for some extra crunch. It‘s one of my favourite salads ever, thank you!
Very good. Maybe it was a little too much dressing, I’d make less next time
Didn't know what to expect. Most happy to have tried this. Really good!
The dressing is one of the best yet, brings the whole dish together, have plenty left to try on something else, delicious.
I added celery to the dish, which went well with the salad. Xx
Holy moly. This sauce is fire 🔥
Didn't expect it, but I LOVED it :) Flavours mix really well. I used raisins instead of cranberries. I also liked the dressing, although only used half of it.
Really really nice. Was so surprised. I didn't have yogurt so I used tahini and a bit of water instead and it still tasted so delicious. Will try with yogurt next time!
I’m in trouble! This was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. The flavors all came together to create a very pleasant taste in my mouth, and the textures were fabulous. Who doesn’t like crunchy, creamy, with a light sweetness. I’m not vegan so I used regular mayo, whole fat Greek yogurt, and cherries instead of cranberries because that’s what I had in my house. I’ve loved every one of Sadia’s recipes that I’ve tried and can’t wait to make more. Such a talented, intelligent, and humble woman! I love the new app too!!
Turned out awesome. Great recipe. I used pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts and thought half the dressing was plenty! So tasty!
Yummy salad but it had too much vinegar in the dressing for my taste.
Also, the mayo doesn’t get mentioned in the ‘make’.
This looks unbelievably good! Can't wait to try this out
u definitely knocked! it out of the park!! with this one Sadia, I used pomegranates instead of cranberries skipped the shallots it makes you drink water 💦💦💦
