Broccoli Salad Recipe

An easy broccoli salad recipe made with fresh broccoli, hard cooked eggs, olives, and onion. It has a mayonnaise and dill weed dressing. Serve for brunch or dinner.

Make this broccoli salad a day in advance to allow the flavors to have time to develop.

We served this with grilled salmon and it made a nice side dish for dinner.

This is an easy recipe to bring to a potluck brunch or family gathering.

It also makes a good picnic food as it will keep well when properly chilled.
