(Adapted From Renee’s Recipe)
I finally got my hands on Renee's Awesome Broccoli Salad Recipe
and made it myself for the first time with a couple slight alterations and it
turned out awesome! EVERYONE LOVED it and it disappeared so fast that
some ppl didn't even get to taste it! :) It was a total HIT! It's all I
ate at Grandma's Birthday BBQ! I had no desire to finish my chicken
or even taste anyone Else's salads! :) lol I should have doubled the
batch and just used the whole Costco bag of Broccoli!! It's my NEW FAVE
BBQ side! I think I'll be making this all summer instead of Potato
salad!! Probably less calories too!! So I thought I'd share with you
all!! ENJOY!!!
