Classic Broccoli Salad

I have a top five list of favorite foods, and one of them is broccoli salad.  The fact that it is made from one of the super foods is just a bonus.  I love it and could eat it every single day.  One of the great things about this salad is you can pretty much add any veggies you have on hand to it, and it is good to go.   I know there is a traditional recipe, but this is the way I make one of my favorite foods.  Something that thrills me is that broccoli is one of Little Miss’s favorite foods, too.  Great minds think alike.
