Broccoli Caesar Salad

This fresh, delicious broccoli recipe is an earthy twist on a Caesar salad adds a little modern flair to your holiday table with a rich and creamy dressing, and satisfying crunch from the cabbage. This is the perfect, light-ish side to accompany the rest of the heavy meal.

You can omit the anchovies from the Caesar salad dressing recipe in this Broccoli Caesar Salad if you don’t like them, but in addition to delicious flavor, anchovies are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids (aka “good” fats).
