BROCCOLI SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES AND CASHEWS
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
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.

Steps:
- 1. Cook broccoli (if you are cooking it, just rinse and drain if you are using raw broccoli), run under cold water until completely cooled then place on paper towels to remove all excess water.
- 2. Cook bacon and set aside on paper towels to cool and drain.
- 3. Chop broccoli, red onion, water chestnuts and Bacon, add chopped items and the rest of the salad ingredients to a large bowl.
- 4. prepare dressing in a small bowl and toss with ingredients in the large bowl. (you can serve this right away but it is best after sitting for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld)
Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid any heads with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Use ripe and juicy mandarins: Select mandarins that are firm and heavy for their size, with a deep orange color. Avoid any fruit with blemishes or soft spots.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing is flavorful, so a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the broccoli and mandarins will start to wilt if left to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This broccoli mandarin salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet mandarins, crunchy broccoli, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks.
