But if you can\u2019t digest raw broccoli or don\u2019t love the texture, you can blanch the florets for a few minutes. This will slightly soften them while retaining their bright green color and crispness.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1748887615741\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I make this salad dairy-free?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely! Just omit the goat cheese or use a dairy-free alternative, and swap in dairy-free yogurt for the dressing. It\u2019ll still be creamy and delicious.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1748887624922\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I make this salad vegetarian?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can!

If you&#8217;re making it for a holiday party or gathering, you can prep it the day before, either with or without the dressing.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you&#8217;ve sliced the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. It makes it far easier to eat that way.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re wondering what to do with the broccoli stem, spiralize it! Yes, you can totally spiralize a broccoli stem, just as you would a zucchini. It&#8217;s delicious! And while I don&#8217;t show you how to spiralize a broccoli stem in my <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/spiralizer-beginners-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spiralizer
