Zesty Broccoli Salad

Great for any summer BBQ!

I love cold veggie salads as a side dish to accompany a BBQ. This recipe can be made as I write it or you can think outside of the box and add or delete whatever vegetables that you like. This is so easy to make and will be a hit with your guests AND the recipe is Whole30, Paleo and Keto compliant. I would bet that your guests would never know it either when they taste it.

So yummy, you won't feel like you are giving anything up!

I use broccoli, cauliflower, grape tomatoes and mini sweet cucumbers. You do not have to cook anything. Just cut the veggies and mix them up in the dressing and voila!, a wonderful summer salad. You can add celery, nuts, dried cranberries or whatever tickles your fancy. I top it off with compliant bacon crumbles because bacon makes everything better.
