Steps:

• Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, poppy seeds, paprika and mustard. Set aside.
• Salad: In a large bowl, combine oranges, apple, broccoli and grapes. Add dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, until chilled, or for up to 6 hours. Sprinkle with pecans.
• Dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Variation: use a chopped red skinned pear in place of the apple and toasted hazelnuts or walnuts in place of the pecans.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, your favorite nuts and mix well.
• To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.

Steps:

• Mix mayo, vinegar and sugar.
• Add broccoli.
• Mix in (optional) raisins, bacon, walnut.
• Mix well, refrigerate and enjoy.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Place raisins and red onion in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of water, and toss to combine. Leave to pickle for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Peel the woody exterior from the broccoli stalks and discard. Chop the stalks into ½-inch pieces. Chop the broccoli florets into ½-inch pieces. (The pieces do not have to be uniform or the same shape.) Place all the broccoli into a large mixing bowl.
• After 10 minutes, finish the dressing by adding the olive oil and sesame oil to the bowl with the pickling raisins and red onion, and stir well to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. It should be tangy, slightly sweet and a little salty.
• Add the raisin-and-onion dressing to the broccoli along with the apple and scallions. Using two large spoons, toss well so that everything is well coated. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Taste to make sure you are happy with the seasonings, adding more if needed.
• When you are ready to eat, add the almonds and grapes (if using), and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.
