This Broccoli Salad with Strawberries & Pistachios is a quick summer salad that is loaded with crunchy, sweet and savory ingredients!
Broccoli salad is such a classic side dish for summer BBQ’s and potlucks. But can often be a little predictable. This Broccoli Salad with Strawberries & Pistachios puts a new spin on the traditional salad recipe, with some extra flavor, freshness and crunch!
What ingredients do I need?
This broccoli salad includes broccoli florets, strawberries, apples, pears, feta cheese and crunchy pistachios all tossed in your favorite poppy seed dressing. It can easily be made ahead and enjoyed later!
Other yummy additions you can include:
- sunflower seeds
- sliced almonds
- dried cranberries
- crumbled bacon
- chopped hard boiled eggs
One of the best things about this salad is that it’s so quick and easy to make! And when I say easy...I mean easy. (I even use a store-bought creamy poppy seed dressing.)
The only "tip" that I can give you is that I recommend cutting the broccoli into small bite sized pieces so that you get equal amounts of all the ingredients in every bite. The smaller pieces are also best when serving this recipe to children.
How do I make Broccoli Salad with Strawberries & Pistachios?
Start by chopping all of the fresh ingredients into small bite sized pieces. Then, place them in a large bowl.
Toss with your favorite creamy, poppy seed dressing and top with feta cheese and pistachios. (I left my pistachios whole, after opening them. However, you can roughly chop them if you prefer).
Store the salad in your refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Easy as that!
