HONEY MUSTARD BROCCOLI SALAD
I made a recipe for Honey Mustard Sauce a couple of months ago and could not resist the broccoli florets to dip into it. So I immediately decided to prepare a whole Honey Mustard Broccoli Salad. The salad is straightforward yet loaded with flavor and can be stored in the refrigerator well. Its Honey Mustard Broccoli salad makes an excellent summer side recipe, and you could serve it with grilling chicken to create a dinner!
SUBSTITUTIONS
If you think red onions aren’t for you, use a few sliced green onions to replace them. Another option is to soak the red onion for around 5 minutes in cold water, which dulls its sharp taste.
HOW LONG DOES HONEY MUSTARD BROCCOLI SALAD KEEP?
Because Broccoli is firm, The salad can withstand exceptionally well in the fridge. I’m on day three right currently, and it’s still delicious. The Broccoli is only slightly soft, the dressing remains smooth and humid (it hasn’t drained out), And very little water has escaped the veggies. It’s an Afor strength! As with all my recipes, I advise keeping it in the refrigerator. In the fridge, Honey Mustard Broccoli Salad for at most four to five days.
