Broccoli Mandarin Salad Recipes

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES AND CASHEWS

A colorful and attractive salad with just the right combination of flavors--we especially love the tanginess from the cider vinegar. Fantastic! I sometimes replace the cashews with roasted sunflower seeds, and the mandarin oranges with raisins--it's great either way! Best made a day ahead of serving.

FRESH BROCCOLI/MANDARIN SALAD

I write a food column for our local newspaper, and I consider myself a pretty good judge of recipes. But I'll admit I was surprised by this one-I didn't think the usual ingredients would go together as well as they do. -Connie Blommers, Pella, Iowa

Mandarin Orange & Broccoli Salad image

Steps:

Toss all ingredients together.
Pour mixed and chilled dressing over and toss again.
I like to put the mandarin oranges on last, after the dressing, so they don't break up too much.
I sort of fold them in gently when serving.
