Broccoli Salad

This cold salad is a nice way to enjoy broccoli on a hot day.  It is also a great picnic meal to take to those many summer events!

Basics:
2 heads of broccoli- chopped into small florets (or you can be lazy like me and buy it pre chopped!)
5 small carrots- sliced
3 bell peppers- I use a variety of colors- this time I used red, orange, and yellow.
1/2 onion- can be yellow or red- sliced
2 cans artichoke hearts- in water- quartered is best but you can always do that yourself

Combine all of the above in a large bowl. Then you get to add your dressing!

Pre dressing!

Dressing Options:
Creamy Garlic
Balsamic (Our Fav!) Add some sliced black olives and this is our favorite to take to cookouts!
Sesame Ginger- add some slivered almonds and green onion!
