When I found this broccoli salad video recipe tutorial by Downshiftology on YouTube, I was so happy to find a new salad to add to my healthy eating repertoire. I am always on the lookout for a new and interesting salad idea, and this broccoli salad does not disappoint. There is a really simple recipe for homemade mayonnaise in this tutorial, as well, that came as an excellent surprise. I had a homemade mayonnaise recipe like the one in the video in the Seventies, but I lost it many years ago. This mayo recipe is so similar because it is made with a whole egg, oil, and mustard in a food processor or blender and only takes a couple of minutes to make.
