Broccoli Cashew Salad

I made this yesterday and it was so good!!  I had pinned it on Pinterest but the original pin comes from All Recipes and here it is.  The thing that I like about All Recipes is that you can automatically change the serving number, this salad originally made 8 servings, I changed it to 2 servings - it was perfect with some leftover chicken wings made on the weekend and still leftovers left for lunch today.


I am sharing the recipe for two, check out the recipe and make it for however many you want...


Broccoli Cashew Salad


1/4 lb. bacon - I used 3 slices

1/4 c. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. cider vinegar - I didn't have any, I used rice vinegar

2 tbsp. white sugar

1/2 pound fresh broccoli, broken into florets - I used 2 cups

2 tbsp. raisins

1/4 cup roasted cashews - I didn't roast them

1/8 red onion, finely chopped.


Place the bacon in frying pan and cook over medium high heat, until browned and crisp.  Drain the bacon on a paper towel lined plate.  Cool bacon and crumble into pieces.


Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved.  Add the broccoli, raisins, cashews, onion and bacon.  Stir until evenly coated.  Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours.  Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.


Enjoy!!!
