Recipe: Crunchy broccoli salad

Posted

This week’s recipe is a crisp, sweet broccoli salad, that is also quick and easy to put together. This is a great side dish with chicken or fish, and may be made ahead, holding up well in the refrigerator. 

It looks and feels like a slaw but has no cabbage -- unless you want to add it. 

Ingredients

One bag or two crowns of broccoli, divided into bite-size pieces.
One large apple, washed and finely diced.
One-half of a sweet or purple onion, finely diced
One-fourth Cup of sweetened dried cranberries (I use the 50% less sugar product)
One- fourth Cup of pumpkin seeds or pepitos
One Cup of mayonnaise
The juice of one lemon
One tablespoon of sugar

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the first five ingredients until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar until they are well combined into a dressing.

Mix the dressing into the salad. Refrigerate.

Enjoy!
