Salad is a common occurrence at my house. We usually make a green salad every which way to go with our meals, but even that can get a little boring at times. I found myself in barbecue-with-friends situation the other day. “I’ll bring the salad!” I offered. I thought someone else would probably make the classic green salad, so I decided on a broccoli salad instead.
I’ve actually made a couple of different broccoli salad recipes in my time as RecipeGirl (scroll under the recipe below to see my other versions), but since I like to make new things… I dug around on the internet for some new ideas. This idea comes from Cooking Light– though I changed it up greatly to create my own version.
The salad is tossed lightly in a mayo-sour cream based dressing, but I’d say the flavor highlights in this one are the dried cranberries, toasted almonds and crispy prosciutto. It’s a good salad recipe to share with friends!
