The Perfect Side Dish

This Broccolini Salad is my absolute favorite! It’s so refreshing and flavorful, plus has a fair amount of vegetables hidden inside. It’s perfect for picnics, BBQs, and potlucks, as it pairs nicely with a range of other dishes.

The roasting process of the broccolini is what takes this salad to the next level. The roasting brings out its sweet, nutty flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the salad. Not to mention the combination of the feta cheese, garlic and balsamic vinegar – a perfect combination.

If you’re looking for something a little bit more unique than your basic salad, this Broccolini Salad is the perfect option. Give it a try, and you won’t be disappointed!
