BROCCOLI SALAD WITH FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE



Broccoli Salad With Fresh Herb Vinaigrette image

I created this salad for Thanksgiving 2009 with a dressing based on a recipe I already had. This is a make-ahead salad. You can certainly change up some of the vegetables here. The possible addition of asparagus or tomato is intriguing. The marinated mushrooms had an especially wonderful taste and I wouldn't leave them out for anything. But you do what you like!
