thanks
Jill
You can add as little or much as you want of the cheese. This is the type of recipe that I just toss in the amount of what I want for each ingredient.

The broccoli salad looks like it has cheese in it. But the recipe has no cheese in n it.
Jill
You can add cheese to it Lori we just don’t always. This is one of those recipes that you can really add to it or take away things depending on what your family prefers.

Dear Tawra. is this recipe in either of your cookbooks? I have them both. Sounds delicious.
Jill
Yes it is in volume 2 and I think it is one page 202. It should be in the index under broccoli salad.

Hi, I’m going to try this. But without mayonnaise daughter can’t eat that. Just figured out why it’s not cooked broccoli. The vinegar and the sugar and mayo does the work for you. Brilliant way of serving broccoli.
