- Storage Tips: This salad will stay fresh 3-5 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Do not freezer this recipe.
- Raw, fresh broccoli is the best in this dish. The remaining ingredients compliment the broccoli flavor.
- To save time use the fresh broccoli florets that you can purchase from the produce section at your local Kroger.
- My next time-saving tip is using these Kroger shredded carrots - all you have to do is dump them in!
