An easy broccoli salad recipe made with fresh broccoli, hard cooked eggs, olives, and onion. It has a mayonnaise and dill weed dressing. You can serve for lunch or dinner.
You might be wondering if all these ingredients mixed together could turn out tasting good. I will say I was surprised how all the flavors came together with this salad, but you do have to like broccoli to enjoy this dish.
I think the best part of this salad is the hard cooked eggs. I also liked the green olives with the red pimento as it gives the salad a touch of color.
We served this with grilled salmon and it made a nice side dish for dinner. You could also serve it for lunch with a sandwich.
Make this broccoli salad recipe a day in advance to allow the flavors time to develop. It will taste pretty good right away, but much better if made in advance.
