BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD

I like this version because there's no mayo- just a light Dijon dressing that enhances the flavors. This is best when chilled overnight. Adjust sugar to taste, before dressing the salad. Cooking time includes chilling.

Tips for Making Broccoli and Apple Salad:

- **Choose the right broccoli:** Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has loose florets. - **Use a sharp knife:** A sharp knife will help you to easily cut the broccoli and apple into thin slices. This will make the salad more enjoyable to eat. - **Don't overcook the broccoli:** Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor. - **Use a variety of apples:** Different types of apples will give your salad different flavors and textures. For example, Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy. - **Add some nuts or seeds:** Nuts and seeds will add crunch and flavor to your salad. Some good options include walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds. - **Don't forget the dressing:** The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and honey is a good option. - **Serve the salad immediately:** Broccoli and apple salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy. ###

Conclusion:

Broccoli and apple salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
