Take-out Tuesday, Nutty Broccoli & Fruit Salad
I chose broccoli as the flavor of the month for January, in an effort to eat healthier and
You’ve got to try this salad!
I got the recipe from Julia’s Album and the only change I made was adding almonds
It really doesn’t need them, as the salad already has cashews, but I loved the extra crunch and flavor
It is so refreshing, healthy and satisfying!
There’s only a dash of mayo and sour cream, it’s mostly just the good stuff
Chop the fruit and vegetables up into small dice
Make sure you chop the red onion finely, and don’t use too much…
it adds just the right amount of balance to the sweetness of the fruit
The dressing is brilliant and so so easy!
I was skeptical about this dressing, just mayo, sour cream or yogurt, honey, lemon, and salt
but Julia raved about it, and it does not disappoint!
It is creamy, dreamy delightful!

Jenna, a wonderful more healthy broccoli salad! I will definitely give this one a try! Now can you believe the GAME? I thought there was no way! ROLL TIDE ROLL🅰️🅰️🅰️
This is making me happy because my MIL used to make this salad. Thanks for posting this because I’ll make it for Trip and he will smile! BTW….. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!! Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer, Give ’em hell, ALABAMA!!!!!
Looks delish!
I think your broccoli painting is prettier than the real deal but the salad looks tasty!
Lovely drawing and yummy recipe!
Yes, this salad is a WINNER! MY Aunt made it for all our family gatherings. Oh, so GOOD! 😃
Thank you, Jenna! My body has been craving something like this since the holidays sabotaged any chance of a healthy diet!! Looks yummy!
I never would have thought to combine broccoli with apples…thanks for the inspiration.
That looks and sounds so strangely appealing!
Jenna… that broccoli salad looks so yummy! Have a wonderful week.
Sounds really delish!! And colorful too! 🍎💚🍎 Thanks for the recipe, Jenna! 😊
This sounds wonderful. I love the savory and sweet!
Sounds like a great salad! Yep, I have to eat more veggies too, gotta work on it:@)
This looks so delishious! I am sure I would love this and the dressing. Going to TJ”s tomorrow so I’ll pick up what I need to make it. How about that game! RTR
So healthy and flavorful Jenna! The dressing reminds me of an old school SL recipe for a broccoli salad but in a much healthier quantity. 🙂
This looks fantastic! I love me some broccoli salad, but the version I usually eat has bacon in it. This, with the apples, is a much healthier version. I would likely have to leave out the onion (adding onion salt instead) since the hubs isn’t too keen on raw onion, but I think I could get him to eat the rest of this. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I’ll definitely be saving it for summer!!
Your Nutty Broccoli Fruit Salad will be a big hit here at the cottage, we love salads with a touch of fruit and vegetables! Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you have a great day and come back soon!
