Chopped Broccoli Salad

Here is such a great (NO COOK) picnic salad!

It is a breeze to assemble quickly and an added benefit is that it gets better tasting after a day in the fridge, making it perfect to make-ahead for a busy week or quick dinner.

Packed with so many amazing nutrients, fiber and greens, this salad is an all-in-one and done meal that you're sure to love!

Extra additions that would pair well would be: chickpeas, lentils, toasted bread crumbs, crumbled blue or feta cheese.
