Broccoli Cashew Salad
If you have roughly 20 minutes to spend in the kitchen, Broccoli Cashew Salad might be Head to the store and pick up cashews, mayonnaise, pepper, and a few other things to make it today. It works well as a hor d'oeuvre.
Instructions
Place the broccoli in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water; drain and place in a large bowl.
Add the tomatoes, onion and olives; toss.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, soy sauce, lemon juice, seasoned salt and pepper.
Add to broccoli mixture; toss to coat. Stir in cashews.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Poppy Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
Poppy Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Youthful notes of lemon and honeysuckle are layered over ripe melon, nutmeg, and clove. The perception of sweetness is derived from fruit ripeness, aging on regularly stirred yeast lees in the presence of aged French Oak.
