Noah is usually up for anything when it comes to meal time, but he loathes broccoli. One of my earliest memories of him is the phrase “They taste, feel, and look like little trees.” The fact that I thought this was ridiculous never swayed him in the least. I kept trying to hide broccoli in soups and stir-fries, thinking he wouldn’t mind it if I could overwhelm it with meat and/or sauce. Nope.But this salad changed everything. This salad embraces broccoli with a wide variety of textures and flavors. Not only did he go back for thirds, but he also asked how to make it so that he could have it more often. I have never been more proud of a recipe!
