For a healthier twist, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. Add a handful of shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor and richness. To prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy, dress the salad just before serving. Experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for a variation in texture and taste. If you don't have red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used as substitutes.
