Broccoli Mandarin Salad

Broccoli Salad

 

I love broccoli, but the rest of my family isn’t so sure about it. But I still make this salad, because it is soooo good, and the adult guests always seem to love it. It’s worth making.
This past weekend we had an Early Christmas celebration with my family, as we are going in different geographical directions this year. So I made this salad for our lunch, and served it with baked ham, buns, and cheese puffs. A great menu for Christmas Day or Boxing Day lunch!

Kitchen Tip:

  • If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can use white balsamic vinegar.  Or regular white vinegar: if you are using regular white vinegar, just dilute it a tiny bit with water, and add a bit of sugar.  Works perfectly!

Yeeuummm!
