ANOTHER COLOURFUL BROCCOLI SALAD

Broccoli Apple Salad, deconstructed and tossed
The great thing about Pinterest is the immediate connection you can make with the chosen photo. Even without a recipe, it can inspire something in your grocery shopping or the fridge. In this case, I had everything and was reflecting on making my usual broccoli salad but lacked the essential red onion, and wanted a little more palatability for my daughter, who balks at dried cranberries, sunflower seeds (sometimes), let alone, raw onion. The dressing is similar but I loosely followed the Cooking Classy Recipe, omitting the yogurt I didn't have, and starting with less mayo as I often find too much mayo for my liking in most recipes. Mayo, honey and vinegar makes this simple dressing to cover a head of broccoli, one chopped Paula Red apple (from our local farmer's market, nice and sweet), 1/2 cup raisins or cranberries,  1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, and 1 cup grated carrot.
