With many layers of texture and flavor, this creamy broccoli salad recipe is a delicious vegetable side that pairs with almost anything. If you can't find dried cherries, try cranberries or currants.

I love this dish. I've never tried roasting veggies on the bottom rack with the broiler. It worked great and tastes great
