Broccoli Salad has become a favorite picnic salad. Recently I wanted a little different dinner salad with some fruit and decided to make this without the pasta. I usually always have broccoli some apples and oranges in the refrigerator and some precooked Costo bacon in the freezer and now I am trying to keep a can of cashews in the pantry so I can make this whenever I want to (along with some dried cranberries, which I usually have). Grapes are good too but not something I always have.
I make a double batch of dressing and it keeps for a long time so I can mix this up quickly. 1 C. of Mayo, 1/3 C. vinegar and 1/3 C. of sugar and 1/4 tsp salt.
This makes 4 servings and the leftovers keep for a couple of days - 1 apple cubed, 1 orange cut peeled and cubed (and or some grapes), 1 C. of thinned pieces of broccoli and 3-4 T. dried cranberries. Toss with 2-4 T. dressing (to taste) and top with a sprinkling of cashews and 2 piece of cooked bacon, sliced thin. This is nice served in individual serving dishes. This has to be very healthy and a nice way to get your broccoli.
