Add cheese:<\/strong> This one is a personal preference, but many broccoli salads are studded with shreds of cheddar cheese for a more decadent dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Store Broccoli Raisin Salad<\/h2>\n
We have to warn you: This addictive salad is known to cause cravings. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself eating it by the spoonful straight out of the fridge. The fact that it tastes great cold or at room temperature makes it a potluck favorite, but given that it has dairy, we advise keeping it in a shady spot if you’re serving it outside on a warm day.<\/p>\n
How long does broccoli salad last?<\/h3>\n
Broccoli salad with raisins will last three to five days if stored in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator. Broccoli is a workhouse veg and a sturdy one at that, so it doesn’t break down or get soft as other salad veggies do after a day or two.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze broccoli salad?<\/h3>\n
You can, but we don’t recommend it. The texture and taste just won’t be the same after it’s thawed.<\/p>\n
Broccoli Raisin Salad Tips<\/h2>\n
Ana Maria Stanciu for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat’s the best way to cut broccoli florets for broccoli salad?<\/h3>\n
Cut the broccoli in small singular florets and cut off the stems. Try to make the pieces as uniform as possible so your salad bites are balanced.<\/p>\n
What should you not do when making broccoli salad?<\/h3>\n
You should try not to dig in to this broccoli salad with raisins too soon. It’s a tricky task, but trust us: This salad is so much better after it chills in the fridge for a few hours. Chilling allows the ingredients to fully absorb the dressing.<\/p>\n
\n
What should you serve with broccoli salad?<\/h3>\nBroccoli salad is wonderful with grilled meats and fish. You can also pair it with barbecue favorites like ribs, sausage, and mac and cheese, or other summertime classics such as corn on the cob, macaroni salad and skewers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
