Amish Broccoli Salad
This 4-ingredient Amish broccoli salad is a reliable favorite for gatherings, and it tends to disappear quickly. It’s creamy, crisp, and ideal for spring and summer occasions. This simplified version keeps the familiar flavors of traditional Amish-style salads while making preparation faster and a bit lighter.
Serve it well chilled in a large bowl alongside grilled chicken, burgers, or brats—the cool, creamy texture pairs nicely with smoky, savory dishes. For a fuller spread, include deviled eggs, a fresh green salad, and some fruit. It also works great for meal prep—try pairing it with sliced turkey or leftover chicken for an easy lunch.
