By Peggie

This creamy broccoli salad always gets glowing reviews. It's crisp, crunchy, chewy and every bite is coated in a delicious honey-lemon dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 medium broccoli head
• 1 medium cauliflower head
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries (craisins)
• 1/2 cup almond slices, toasted on a dry skillet until golden
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1 small lemon)
• 1/2 cup real mayonnaise

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the the broccoli stem and chop off the dry base. Chop broccoli into small florets and dice the stem.
Remove and discard cauliflower core and dice the rest.
Toast ½ cup almonds on a dry skillet over med/high heat, tossing frequently until fragrant and golden, then add to salad bowl along with ¾ cup craisins.
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayo, 2 Tbsp honey and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Add dressing to the salad and toss well to combine.
Notes

*Fresh lemon juice makes all the difference - when you only have 3 ingredients in the dressing, each one really counts.
