Rec. Upper Crust Catering's Broccoli Strawberry Salad - I doubled this for a party. Everyone asked

for the recipe. I also added dried cherries (I'd seen these in another broccoli salad) and it was a wonderful addition to an already great tasting salad.

Upper Crust Catering's Broccoli Srawberry Salad

4 cups of fresh broccoli florets, cut into small pieces

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 c dried cherries (my own addition)

1/4 cup peanuts

1/4 cup peeled and grated carrot

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1 cup fresh sliced strawberries

Dressing:

3/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

Combine broccoli, raisins, peanuts, carrots, onion and strawberries in a serving bowl.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar until sugar dissolves. Just before serving, pour about half of the dressing over salad; toss. Taste; add more dressing if your tastes dictate.

Serves 4.

Mmm, Marsha...another winner. DH and I ate so much last night that we didn't need a main course!

I personally think this should be in T&T. It is delicious, I got compliments all night on this one

Since all I can find are flavorless fresh strawberries, do you think you could use frozen instead?

 

[marsha-tbay]

Dawn, my first thought is wait til spring for fresh. But maybe if you sliced frozen thin and

sprinkled with a little sugar, perhaps it would be ok. If you do make it with frozen berries, let us know if it was satisfactory if fresh isn't available.

I think a nice crisp apple would be good too.
