I'm joining in with Southern Whimsy's Summer Salad Saturdays today.
We eat a lot of salads during the hot summer days here in Florida. We also eat a lot of broccoli salads, I have about five different broccoli salads and they are all really good! I will start sharing different salads with you each Saturday this summer.
Today I'm sharing Orange Broccoli Salad.
1 large head broccoli, chopped
¼ cup chopped red onion
½ cup dried cranberries, or raisins
½ cup toasted almonds (sliced or slivered)
¼ cup sunflower seeds
1 small can mandarin orange slices (drained)
½ to 1 cup raspberry balsamic vinegar
2 packets of Stevia (or Splenda)
Mix all together and chill.
This broccoli salad has a sweet tanginess along with crunchiness. I love crunchy food!
When toasting the nuts and seeds, watch them carefully as they burn easily. I set the timer to remind me.
We really like balsamic vinegar, but it is so dark it doesn't make
a real pretty salad. I save out a few mandarin orange slices for garnish.
You can also add canola oil with the vinegar, but I leave it out.
I hope you try this broccoli salad, let me know if you like it!
Go here to Southern Whimsy for more delicious refreshing salads!
God Bless.
