I talked with my friend that day about her choice for salad. I said, “You’re finally out of the house and you can eat whatever you want, why broccoli?” She told me how she got the recipe from her mother and it was one that she had always loved. When her and her husband first signed for their house, she dreamed of being able to make this special dish for her friends and family in her new home. I’m so happy that she, and they have finally reached their happily ever after. They now still live in that same house with two little ones running around. It’s so incredible and inspiring to watch!

This recipe is perfect for potlucks, family get-togethers, and summer barbecues!
