Healthy Broccoli and Walnut Salad

This broccoli and walnut salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli is roasted until tender-crisp, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. The salad is dressed with a simple lemon-honey vinaigrette that is light and refreshing.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and easy side dish to serve with grilled chicken. I had some broccoli and walnuts on hand, and I decided to give it a try. The salad was a hit, and I've been making it ever since.
