Well, I thought that I was done with salads, but I can't leave out this one. More and more I am convinced of including more fresh vegetables and fruits in our daily diet. The more color that we have the better. Now, growing up I was not a fan of broccoli. I think that was because we usually had it frozen and cooked. Overcooked broccoli is the worse, even if you try to rescue it with cheese sauce. So instead try this one, I think you'll find it tasty and will give you a new perspective on one of our best nutritious veggies!
1/4 c white or red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp canola oil
3 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt (which I usually omit)
1 lb broccoli, tops cut into small florets and stems peeled and chopped
1/4 c dried cherries, cranberries or raisins
1/4 c roasted peanuts, chopped
Whisk together vinegar, oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, and salt in large bowl. Toss with broccoli and dried fruit. Serve topped with peanuts. Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Makes 4 servings.
