This recipe comes from my grandmothers archives, and was one of my favorites as a child. With loads of veggies and minus the sugar and miracle whip its a clean fresh spin on the ever so popular broccoli salad! Its a whole family favorite and delicious as a side with grilled chicken or steak!
We busted out the Traeger tonight for the first time in months! Spring is just around the corner and I can’t wait to get my grill back on!
