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!
