Recipe: Broccoli Salad

Here is the broccoli salad I made for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! I found this recipe on The Kids Wellness website, and the only thing I changed was the type of mayo used and we omitted the onions. We had actually ran out of the safflower mayo we normally used, so my husband made some home-made safflower mayo for me. It was delicious, and probably made the salad even better :)

Ingredients:

6 cups chopped broccoli

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional)

3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries or raisins

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, (or chopped walnuts, or any nut of choice)

3/4 cup light mayonnaise of your choice

2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons flax seed

In a large bowl place broccoli, onion, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and flax seed. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Mix well. Pour over salad, toss well. Chill before serving.
