Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Broccoli Salad with Cashews.
Step 1
Start by preparing your broccoli. Cut the two large heads into bite-sized florets, making sure they’re fresh and vibrant. This will be the star of your salad!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with a cup of dried cranberries, half a small chopped red onion, and half a cup of chopped celery. The combination of these ingredients will create a beautiful medley of colors and flavors.
Step 3
Now, let’s whip up the dressing! In a separate bowl, whisk together one cup of mayonnaise, a quarter cup of white sugar, and a quarter cup of rice vinegar. This creamy dressing will add a delightful tang and sweetness to your salad.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss everything together until the florets are well coated. Make sure every bite is bursting with flavor!
Step 5
Just before serving, sprinkle a third of a cup of chopped cashews on top for that perfect crunch. This adds a lovely texture and nutty flavor that complements the salad beautifully.
Step 6
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature, and watch it disappear at your next gathering! It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s both nutritious and delicious.
