UPDATED photo: 7/26/2010. This is probably one of my all time favorite side salads!
When I first tasted this salad, I think I went back for seconds and I tried for thirds, but everyone else beat me to it. Luckily, my friend Heidi made it and was willing to give me the delicious recipe. Thanks Heidi....this salad has changed my life! If only my husband and kids liked broccoli. One thing I love about the recipe is that the craisens red color compliment the green broccoli and orange cheese to make this a very beautiful and appealing salad. This salad of course, made an appearance during our Christmas festivities. Yum!
Broccoli, Cheese and Craisen Salad
1/2 small red onion chopped (I usually leave this out)
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
2 bunches broccoli florets (cut or break into small bite size pieces)
Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 to 3 T white salad vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
Stir dressing ingredients together and pour a little at a time over broccoli mixture.
Cashews
Craisens
Add craisens and cashew pieces to liking (I've never measured them) to broccoli mixture. Stir in a little more dressing if needed. Depending on how big your bunches of broccoli are, you may not use all the dressing.
