Ingredients for Broccoli Grape Salad<\/p>\n

The ingredients are simple, and several can be swapped depending on what you have on hand:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fresh Broccoli (or broccolini) \u2013 thoroughly washed and chopped into bite-size pieces. If you prefer a softer texture, see my notes below on blanching.<\/p>\n

Cucumber \u2013 use \u00bd English cucumber or 2 garden cucumbers. I leave the skins on unless I\u2019m using wax-coated grocery store cucumbers.<\/p>\n

Seedless Grapes \u2013 red or green, both work well, or substitute raisins if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Red Onion \u2013 or sweet yellow onion. Shallots also work well for a milder onion flavor.<\/p>\n

Toasted Pine Nuts \u2013 or substitute sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.<\/p>\n

Crispy Bacon \u2013 cooked and chopped.I like to make air fryer bacon and chop it up<\/p>\n

Is it ok to eat raw broccoli?<\/h2>\n

Yes, broccoli is perfectly safe to eat raw, and it\u2019s one of the healthiest vegetables you can add to salads. It\u2019s low in calories and carbs and packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Just be sure to wash it well and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces, so they\u2019re easier to eat.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for broccoli grape salad with broccoli, cucumber, grapes, bacon, red onion and dressing<\/p>\n

Is it ok to eat raw broccoli?<\/p>\n

Yes, broccoli is perfectly safe to eat raw, and it\u2019s one of the healthiest vegetables you can add to salads. It\u2019s low in calories and carbs and packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Just be sure to wash it well and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces, so they\u2019re easier to eat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you prefer a slightly more tender texture, you can quickly blanch the broccoli before adding it to the broccoli grape salad. Simply boil the florets for 30\u201360 seconds, then transfer them immediately to ice water to stop the cooking. This keeps the broccoli bright green while softening the bite.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Best Dressing for Broccoli Grape Salad<\/p>\n

The dressing is really simple and good, real mayo lightly sweetened and balanced with freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple salt and pepper seasoning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to substitute mayonnaise, you can use equal parts of sour cream and mayo, or just use all sour cream. If using sour cream, you might add a teensy bit more sugar to taste since sour cream is tangier than mayonnaise.<\/p>\n
