Gold Star

I like to serve a tossed salad with Sunday dinner, and more often than not my go-to is Caesar. In fact, it’s what I’m planning to accompany our Hawaiian Haystacks tomorrow night. Nearly everyone likes Caesar salad, as long as I skip the anchovies. Still, it can be a bit, well, boring. Maybe next week I should try something like this:

Easy Broccoli Salad

5 cups broccoli, cut into florets

1 apple, cored and diced

1 pear, cored and diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cashews

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons honey

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo and yogurt, then stir in lemon juice and honey. In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets, diced apple and pear, red onion, cashews and cranberries, and toss together to combine. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture, then toss until everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate at least half an hour before serving.
