Broccoli Salad with Cashews, Raisins and Sunflower Seeds

<< Broccoli Salad is an easy salad or side dish recipe that combines great nutrition with crispy, crunchy flavors and textures. This colorful broccoli recipe can be doubled and served at brunch or dinner - make ahead and refrigerate.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large broccoli
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, if desired)
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced or finely diced
  • 1/2 cup cashew nuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/8 cup sunflower seeds, shelled, optional
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cut florets from broccoli, leaving a bit of the stems - enough for about 4 cups of broccoli. Add broccoli to pot of boiling water - boil for 3-4 minutes and drain. Immediately place drained broccoli into bowl of cold water - it should be bright green and slightly tender, not soft.

Mix together mayonnaise, vinegar and brown sugar in bowl until combined. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Drain broccoli and place in a large bowl. Cover with dressing and add remaining ingredients, tossing to blend. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

Note: when you add the onions, feel free to add sliced carrots, cucumbers, peppers or other vegetables
