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.

Steps


Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Mix together broccoli , red onion , bacon , cashews , mandarin oranges , and mozzarella in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl combine vinegar , sugar , oil , and mayo.
Whisk in the salt and pepper.
Pour over broccoli mixture and toss to coat.
Best if made a day ahead.
