How to Make Broccoli Cheese Salad

  1. Wash and cut 1 large head of broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli florets, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the broccoli and cheese mixture.
  5. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill. This step enhances the taste!
