Mandarin Broccoli Salad image

Sweet, crunchy and colorful, this salad has a fresh mix of textures and flavors. It tastes even better when you chill it overnight, if you can wait that long. -Margaret Allen, Abingdon, Virginia

This salad is so easy to make and it's so delicious! I love that it's made with healthy ingredients and it's a great way to get my daily dose of fruits and vegetables.

I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and they worked great. I also added a little bit of shredded chicken to the salad and it was a great way to add some extra protein.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the salad was even more flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I had some leftover broccoli from dinner and I was looking for a way to use it up. This salad was the perfect solution!

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I loved this salad! The mandarins and almonds really balance out the flavor of the broccoli.
