  • Pre-Chill Your Ingredients: Chilling the broccoli and cheeses before combining makes the salad even more refreshing.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of honey.
  • Extra Crunch: Add sunflower seeds or chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen.
