Fresh broccoli is best for salad recipes.
Sweet and sour favors meld well together and complement the taste of broccoli when combined in a salad. A sweet and sour broccoli salad uses peanuts and raisins with a homemade dressing. The combination of the sweet and sour flavors makes an interesting appetizer, side dish or an adventurous dessert. The salad requires approximately 10 minutes of preparation time and 10 hours of chill time. When finished, the recipe yields six servings.
Instructions
1. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar and 3 tbsp. sugar in a small bowl. Whisk the salad dressing to blend the ingredients evenly.
2. Combine 4 cups chopped and steamed broccoli, 1 cup crushed peanuts and 1 1/2 cups red raisins in a salad bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix all ingredients.
3. Pour half of the salad dressing over the ingredients in the salad bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to coat everything in an even layer of dressing. Drizzle the other half of the salad dressing over the top.
4. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 hours. Toss the salad a second time before serving.
