I'l be honest. This is one of the favorite side dishes that my wife makes. Not just for BBQ cookout but also as a side on a regular meal.

How To Make My Broccoli Salad

  • I start with fresh broccoli and cut the florets smaller. I use a pair of scissors for that.
  • Mix sour cream, maple syrup, salt, and pepper together and set aside.
  • Add the broccoli florets, the roasted pecans, and the cranberries to a bowl and mix well with your hands.
  • Optionally, you can add the chopped red onion.

Broccoli Salad And BBQ- My Experience

At first, I was not convinced that a broccoli salad would be a good fit for a BBQ side dish. But since my wife made it several times, I fell in love with the freshness and the combination of flavors.
Now it is a regular part of my cookouts, and many of my family members and guests learned to appreciate the freshness and the crunchiness of the roasted pecan nuts.
