broccoli salad

Recipe by

I love to make this salad with grilled meats,it just seems to go together.This is a crunchy,colorful salad that's very versatile,you can add or take away any ingredient you like.My niece picks out the water chestnuts every time! Sometimes I use jicama instead of water chestnuts. I also add a handful of fresh parsley just before serving.I think parsley gets a bad rap,I love it and try to use it often.
