BROCCOLI SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES AND CASHEWS



Broccoli Salad With Mandarin Oranges and Cashews image

A colorful and attractive salad with just the right combination of flavors--we especially love the tanginess from the cider vinegar. Fantastic! I sometimes replace the cashews with roasted sunflower seeds, and the mandarin oranges with raisins--it's great either way! Best made a day ahead of serving.

BROCCOLI SALAD W/ RAISINS AND MANDARIN ORANGES



Broccoli Salad w/ Raisins and Mandarin Oranges image

our Grocery store makes a version of this salad but they use the bagged precut broccoli so the gas they use to preserve the broccoli makes a sulfur smell so I decided to do it myself. You can use any nuts but cashews or sunflower seeds are my favorites I've found.
