   Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

   Season the salad with salt to taste.

8. 8

   Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

9. 9

   Serve the Broccoli Flower Salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
