- Prep ahead: This salad comes together quickly, so read the recipe, check the ingredient notes, and gather everything before you start.
- Cut broccoli into small pieces: Smaller florets coat better with dressing and soften slightly as they sit.
- Adjust to taste: Add more vinegar for tang or a little extra sugar for sweetness.
- Let it chill: The salad tastes great right away but is even better after an hour as the flavors develop.
