Fabulous Fathers Day Salad

Beautiful Broccoli Salad

Summer time fun often means bring a bowl of something to  a back yard cookout.  This is a hit with my guys so I felt obligated to share!  It makes a great Fathers Day side dish to go with that steak or those slow cooked ribs.   Broccoli salad topped with chilled shrimp.
