Tons of Flavors

This vegetarian salad is loaded with flavor. There’s lots of crunch from the broccoli and sunflower seeds, there’s salty feta cheese, sweetness from raisins and mandarin oranges and a little zip from red onions.

Make Ahead Salad

This salad actually tastes better if it is made a little in advance. I like to make it 2 hours ahead of time. The broccoli is still crunchy at this point but has soaked up some of the flavor from the dressing.

How To Serve Broccoli Orange Feta Salad

Goes great with a sandwich, burgers, hot dogs, or grilled chicken. Perfect for any potluck, picnic, or cookout.

Sweet and Tangy Dressing

The dressing is a mayonnaise-based dressing flavored and thinned with a little juice from a can of mandarin oranges. Apple cider vinegar is added for a little tang. Reduce the sugar if you want it less sweet.

  • Use cauliflower instead of or in addition to broccoli.
  • Use apple instead of mandarin oranges.
  • Green onion can be used instead or red onion.

Storage

Will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the refrigerator but it will start to get soggy and watery after a few days.
