You can use any type of salad dressing you want to in the broccoli Salad and I sometimes will use Ranch Salad dressing in my broccoli salad and other salads as well.
Actually when I think about it I'd say ranch dressing goes with any salad and just about anything else.
But you can make a broccoli salad dressing at home that is commonly used on broccoli salad.
Below are the ingredients for making your own broccoli salad dressing.
8 cups broccoli cut into bite sized pieces.
1/3 cup red onion diced.
1/2 cup dried cranberries.
1/4 cup sunflower seeds.
1/2 cup bacon bits.
3 tablespoons cider vinegar.
2 tablespoons sugar.
1 cup mayonnaise.
You mix the above ingredients together and you have your own homemade broccoli salad dressing.
