Barbara Dettlinger, a lifelong friend of Veronika and one of the original members of the ladies' dinner group, was assigned the colour green for the party.

Naturally, she decided to make a dish close to her heart—Broccoli Salad. The recipe was one her mom used to make while catering for events, but Barb had her own twist. She always felt the original version had too much sugar, so she perfected a lighter version without the extra sweetness. Even her mom now prefers Barb’s healthier take, proving that you can make a classic even better with a fresh spin!
