So today marks the beginning of the weekend of Summer Picnic Cooking Demo Recipes! I created these recipes for our Summer Picnic Cooking Demos in June... and they turned out fantastic! They are nice alternatives to the traditional picnic menu... so you can jazz it up a bit! This Cheddar Broccoli Salad is a nice replacement for cole slaw, as it is a little bit sweet, a little tangy and a bit smoky with the tofu bacon.
