| How To Make Walmart Broccoli Salad |
Step 1: Assemble Your Broccoli Brigade
- Pasta: We're talking rotini here, folks. Those little corkscrew shapes are the perfect vessel for scooping up that creamy, dreamy dressing.
- Broccoli: The star of the show! Chop it up nice and small, like you're prepping for a tiny tree convention. Nobody wants a mouthful of broccoli stalk the size of a small tree branch.
- Cheese: Cheddar, always cheddar. Sharp or mild, that's the question. Personally, I'm a sharp cheddar kinda gal, but you do you, boo.
- The Holy Grail: The Dressing This is where the magic happens, people. We're talking mayo (lots of it), a touch of sugar for sweetness, a splash of vinegar for tang, and a sprinkle of secret spices (we'll get to those in a sec).
Bonus points: Throw in some chopped red onion for a bit of a bite, or some diced cooked ham for a protein punch. It's your salad, go wild!

Step 2: The Great Pasta Caper (It's not actually a caper, but it sounds cool)
- Cook that pasta according to the package instructions. Don't overcook it, you want it al dente (fancy way of saying it should still have a little bit of bite). While the pasta's doing its thing, whip up your dressing in a separate bowl.
- Whisk together the mayo, sugar, vinegar, and your chosen spices. Here's where you get creative! A dash of dry mustard for a little kick, some paprika for a hint of smokiness, or even a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for the adventurous types.
Step 3: The Salad Summit (AKA, Putting it All Together)
- Drain that pasta and rinse it under cold water. We don't want any leftover starchy water weighing down our salad.
- In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, broccoli, and cheese.
- Pour your glorious dressing over the top and gently fold it all in. Be careful not to overmix, or you'll end up with mushy broccoli.
Step 4: The Grand Finale (AKA, Devouring the Salad)
- Refrigerate your masterpiece for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the broccoli to get nice and crisp.
- Serve chilled and bask in the glory of your homemade Walmart Broccoli Salad.
Congratulations, you've officially outsmarted the system! You've made delicious broccoli salad without having to deal with the fluorescent lights and questionable background music of the deli aisle. Now go forth and share your culinary triumph with the world (or at least your family and friends).
