When I say I want “just a salad”, I’m talking about something like this:

• A salad that’s hearty
• A salad that’s meaty
• A salad that’s chock full of vegetables but tastes AMAZING so you can’t stop eating them

This broccoli salami sweet onion salad hits all the right notes, if you’re in the mood for a salad that’s going to fill you up and leave you satisfied.

Broccoli Salami Sweet Onion Salad: What You’ll Need

Broccoli: The base of this salad is broccoli. Use the whole broccoli, from the florets to the stem. (The next time you have extra broccoli stalks, make these cheesy broccoli chips!)

Bell peppers: I found a deal on red, orange, and yellow peppers. Feel free to use only one color pepper to save money.

Onion: The finer chopped, the better.

Sweet Vidalia onion dressing: Pick up a bottle of sweet onion dressing (or sweet Vidalia onion) at the supermarket.

Parmesan cheese: Don’t skimp on the cheese! I bought a plastic container of fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. I used about half of the container and put the remainder in the freezer for future use. You can also shred your own cheese. Dried Parmesan will work, in a pinch.
