Broccoli Peanut Salad with Raisins

My wife’s late maternal grandmother used to make this recipe. While these ingredients may sound like an odd pairing, their combination is incredibly rich, and the texture offers a great crunch! To serve: This tastes best cold, so we highly recommend storing for a few hours before serving, or overnight. 


Ingredients:

  • 1 head broccoli, chopped into ½ inch pieces

  • ¾ cup raisins

  • ¾ cup dry-roasted peanuts, chopped

  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar


Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine chopped broccoli, raisins, chopped peanuts, and chopped onion. 

  2. In a side bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.

  3. Pour the dressing over the salad.

  4. Stir until the salad is lightly coated in the dressing.

  5. Refrigerate and enjoy cold!
