A delicious broccoli salad that packs a punch! The broccoli in this salad will provide roughly 6 grams of protein, not to mention a high source of glucosinolates. These are compounds that may help reduce the risk of cancer. But that’s not all… The edamame in this salad provides a whopping 17 grams of protein to boot. Who needs meat?
