When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

I must be getting old coz I find my memory slipping a bit here and there. (What did I come into this room for is just the beginning!) After I made this Classic Crazy Broccoli Salad, I remembered I already have a lighter no-Mayo version. This is the OG version. (And if you’re interested, another fave broccoli salad: Shaved Broccoli Salad with Apple & Tarragon.)

I had it from a grocery store deli. The Best Salad in the World. Seriously, that’s what it was called – and I agree!

So a friend of mine called yesterday and asked about Broccoli Salad. Yep. Broccoli Salad. You know it, that Crazy Broccoli Salad that’s been around forever, kind of a mainstay for summer potlucks and picnics. It was my Mom who first gave me the recipe back in the 70s, and I’ve been making it ever since. This one, though, I’ve tinkered with, and now it’s Lighter Crazy Broccoli Salad (No Mayo).
