Salads are my go-to meal. I love trying different salad recipes at home, and one of my favorites is this creamy broccoli grape salad recipe by Natashas Kitchen. It’s seriously good. I was so shocked when I first made it at home. It was so much better than what I expected. The salad has different textures and flavors already, but the creamy homemade salad dressing made it even better.
