CURRIED BROCCOLI CRANBERRY SALAD
Came up with this for a more exotic twist on the classic bacon broccoli salad, since many of us are vegetarians. Makes a great summer potluck dish, and a quick side to a world cuisine menu. Play with the type of curry powder you use to change up the base flavor.

- Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help them cook evenly.
- Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. This will give it a slightly smoky flavor and make it more flavorful.
- Use a good quality dried cranberry. This will help to add a sweet-tart flavor to the salad.
- Add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch. Walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds all work well.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy.
