Broccoli Salad

 

Every Southerner has their version of broccoli salad, and this is mine - loaded with all the good stuff like mandarin oranges, grapes, and crunchy almonds. The sweet and tangy dressing is what makes it addictive, and it's one of those salads that gets better as it sits and all the flavors meld together."
