Broccoli Salad with Walnuts and Raisins

By Brie

Bobby Deen shared his delicious broccoli salad today on the show. Perfect as a side - or a meal on it's own.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 Lb head broccoli (cut into 1/2-inch florets)
• 1/2 Cup light mayonnaise
• 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1/4 Tspn freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 Cup golden raisins
• 1/4 Cup chopped scallions (white and light green parts)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of ice water.

Drop broccoli in boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove broccoli. Transfer it immediately to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well and place the broccoli in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper. Spoon over the broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in the walnuts, raisins, and scallions and serve.
