Mandarin Broccoli Salad

Mandarin Broccoli Salad is both sweet and tangy with lots of crunch. This colorful salad makes a great addition to a cookout or potluck and can be made ahead of time for ease and convenience.

In fact, it should be made at least an hour ahead of time so it has time to chill and the flavors can blend a little bit. So refreshing on a hot day!

Tips For Making Mandarin Broccoli Salad

• Mix the nuts in just before serving so they don’t get soggy.
• As is, this recipe is a great vegetarian side, but bacon can be added for extra flavor and saltiness.
• Raisins can be used instead of Craisins.
• Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces. It’s much easier to eat than if you leave the florets larger in size.
• Add a little black pepper if you wish.
• I don’t like to make this dish spicy. I think it tastes better just sweet and tangy but you can add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.

Storage

Will keep in the refrigerator for a day or two. The broccoli pieces get a little less crisp as time goes by, but it is still delicious. After 2 days the broccoli will get limp and the dressing will be watery.
