    Tips & Variations

    • Other Veggies: You can also add vegetables of your choice, like bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, and mixed salad greens, to make this salad more nutritious.
    • Remove excess moisture: Pat dry the steamed broccoli very well using a paper towel, so moisture doesn't water down the dressing.
    • No Greek Yogurt: If you don't have greek yogurt at home, take regular yogurt and pour it into a muslin cloth and drain the whey for 30 minutes above the kitchen sink to make hung yogurt. You can substitute greek yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise.
    • Store-bought Dressing: You can replace the homemade dressing with store-bought coleslaw dressing if desired.
    • Cheese: Add some cheese to this broccoli and dill salad if desired.
