This delicious and flavor-packed Crunchy Broccoli Salad recipe draws inspiration from the popular broccoli salad from the Whole Foods deli counter. Tasty, simple, and it’s totally addictive! So if you are looking into how to easily eat more raw veggies, add this recipe to your list. Or maybe a potluck is in the books, and you’ve been assigned the salad: this easy recipe with a variety of vegetables, raisins and dried fruits, salty sunflower seeds, and a creamy cider coleslaw dressing is the way to go.

This delicious and healthy vegetable salad is a quick, easy, and fantastic side dish. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare: Just chop and mix.
