Creamy brocoli salad
- Preparation 1 h 30 min
- Cooking 20 min
- Servings 4 to 6
- Freezing I do not suggest
I went to eat at my mother’s in the deep end of the Eastern Townships and she served us an amazing creamy brocoli salad to accompany our grilled steaks. She inspired me to make my version! It is so simple to do and it is not often thought of … I like to leave it to rest in the fridge for a few hours question to make soften the broccoli and develop the flavours. If you are tight in time, an hour will be ample enough.

Our sommeliers suggest
West Coast Lager, 6%
Le Castor
Low fermentation beer offering a hopping of the American West Coast, this Lager will offer you both aromas of cereals, plants, but also citrus. Very dry, it will give way to the cream of the recipe while supporting the vegetable notes of broccoli, due to its lemony aromas. You can eat healthy while having fun!
