Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped dry-roasted cashews
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like a milder flavor, use less curry powder. If you like a spicier flavor, use more.
  • To make a vegan version of this salad, use vegan mayonnaise and yogurt.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
