BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD

I like this version because there's no mayo- just a light Dijon dressing that enhances the flavors. This is best when chilled overnight. Adjust sugar to taste, before dressing the salad. Cooking time includes chilling.

BROCCOLI APPLE SALAD



Broccoli Apple Salad image

A good salad.

Provided by Eve Peterson

Categories     Fruit Salads

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c mayonnaise
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 c fresh broccoli florets
1/2 c seedless red grapes
1/4 c golden raisins
1/4 c chopped apple
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp bacon bits

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk Mayo, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl, set aside. In a serving bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, drizzle with dressing, toss to coat. Chill until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when tossed with the other ingredients. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Shred the broccoli: You can use a box grater or a food processor to shred the broccoli. If using a food processor, be careful not to over-process it, or it will become too mushy.
  • Use a creamy dressing: A creamy dressing will help to hold the salad together and make it more flavorful. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. A simple dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, and a little bit of sugar is a good option.
  • Add some nuts or seeds: Nuts and seeds add a nice crunchy texture and flavor to the salad. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good choices.
  • Serve immediately: Apple-broccoli salad is best served immediately after it is made. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Apple-broccoli salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is made with crisp apples, broccoli, red onion, and a creamy dressing. The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. For example, you can add some dried cranberries or raisins for a bit of sweetness, or you can add some crumbled bacon for a savory flavor. Apple-broccoli salad is a delicious and nutritious salad that is sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
