Broccoli Salad
This is one salad that I can have on it’s own, without any accompanying meal! Utterly delicious with an awesome sweet and salty combination, and you will find yourself taking second and third helpings easily! It goes well with bbq’s of any kind, roasts, pasta dishes, burgers, etc.
Ingredients
- 1 head of broccoli cut into florets and cleaned well
- 1 small carrot grated
- 1 small firm ripe tomato cut into cubes (you can even use halved plum tomatoes)
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sweet corn drained
- 1/4 cup roasted cashewnuts or almonds
- 1/4 cup raisins optional
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or mix quarter cup thick yoghurt with quarter cup mayo
- 2-3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the broccoli florets, chopped tomato, grated carrot, sweet corn, chopped onion, raisins and the cashews, mix well.
- In a small bowl mix the mayonnaise (and yoghurt if you’re using it), sugar, and lemon/vinegar. Beat with a fork until smooth and creamy. Pour this dressing into the salad and stir carefully until everything is coated. Chill this salad for a few hours and serve! Enjoy! 🙂
salams dear congrt on the web am not fun of broccoli but my huby love it so inshALLAH soon am gona suprice him with this salad coz it just looks yummy but have a question we dnt boil the broccoli??? thnkx alot dear
W/Salaam Rina, thanks dear. And no do not boil the broccoli for this recipe, just chop into florets then clean/rinse it well and drain. Boiling will make the broccoli limp and soggy in the salad. Needs to be fresh and crisp.

Absolutely ok. In fact, it will make it healthier. 🙂 Mayo gives a richer taste.
