I absolutely love this Broccoli Salad. It is very healthy, packed with apples, onions, pecans, and raisins. It comes together very nicely and can be made a day in advance. It lasts for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator. After that, the pecans tend to get a bit soggy from the dressing. This salad can be made all year long and is the perfect side dish.
Ingredients:
1 large head broccoli, flowerets only , chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 cup raisins. Craisins would also work nicely too.
1/2 cup chopped pecans.
1/2 cup chopped onion.
1 small apple chopped. I like to use granny smith or gala apples , whichever i have on hand. The apple can be peeled or chopped with the skin on.
Dressing Ingredients.
3/4 – 1 cup mayonaise
2-3 tablespoons of white vineagar
2-3 tablespoons of white sugar
Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix dressing ingredients together. Add dressing ingredients to Salad and mix thoroughly. If making a head. Add dressing ingredients before serving.
Enjoy.
