Notes

Can Broccoli Salad Be Made Ahead of Time?

You betcha! In fact, in my humble opinion, this healthy broccoli salad tastes even better the next day, and the day after that, as the broccoli and tofu soak up the yummy dressing.

Tip! Look for miso and vegan mayonnaise in the refrigerator section of your grocery store.
