Turning boring broccoli into a flavor-packed salad is our favorite way to eat this vegetable. These recipes use fresh herbs, flavorful dressings and bright flavors to transform broccoli into a side dish your whole family will love--even the notorious broccoli haters. These salads and slaws are perfect for summer cookouts, holiday potlucks and casual family meals, and are a great way to add cheerful color and punchy flavor to your dinner table any time of year. Here, some of our easiest (and most delicious) recipes for broccoli salad.

Grilled Broccoli and Bread Salad with Pickled Shallots

Grilled Broccoli and Bread Salad with Pickled Shallots
Go to Recipe

"Grilling over an open flame is my favorite way of cooking," says Charlie Parker. "It gives food so much flavor without the need for butter." Here, he serves lightly charred broccoli and ciabatta cubes in a twist on an Italian bread-and-tomato salad. The bread soaks up all of the dressing, giving this broccoli salad a serious flavor punch. This dish makes a tasty side for summer entrees--we love to pair it with grilled salmon or turkey burgers for a delicious, healthy bite. Vegetable dishes like this one go nicely with light pilsners, like Germany's crisp, slightly bitter Bitburger, which lets vegetable flavors stand out. For wine, try a minerally Loire white.
