BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD



Broccoli and Apple Salad image

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.

BROCCOLI APPLE SALAD



Broccoli Apple Salad image

A good salad.

Provided by Eve Peterson

Categories     Fruit Salads

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c mayonnaise
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 c fresh broccoli florets
1/2 c seedless red grapes
1/4 c golden raisins
1/4 c chopped apple
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp bacon bits

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk Mayo, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl, set aside. In a serving bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, drizzle with dressing, toss to coat. Chill until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp broccoli: The broccoli florets should be deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the broccoli: This will help the broccoli absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Blanch the broccoli for just 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give the salad different flavors. For a sweet and tart salad, use a Granny Smith apple. For a sweeter salad, use a Honeycrisp or Fuji apple.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This broccoli apple salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious salad that the whole family will enjoy.
