Make a double batch because this beautiful crunchy, tangy Oil-Free Creamy Broccoli Salad is so delicious that you’ll want to eat the whole bowlful.

Did you know that broccoli is packed with nutrients?

One cup of raw, chopped broccoli contains only 31 calories, 6 grams of carbohydrates and more than a third of the carbohydrates found in broccoli come from fiber (2.4 grams), so it will fill you up and do all the wonderful things that fiber does.

Fiber: 2.4g

Protein: 2.5g

Fat: 0.3g

Sodium: 30mg
