Ingredients
- 4 cups of fresh broccoli finely chopped- 1 cup of tasty apple chopped small (I like Pink Lady)- 1/3 cup of craisins, you can use raisins if you prefer- 1 oz of slivered almonds you can also use pecans or sunflower seeds- 2 oz of Dubliner Irish cheese (from Costco) gruyere is also quite nice. Chop very small.- Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing. Do not dress the entire salad. Dress the servings. You never need more than a tbls per servings. This is where the calories and fat are but it adds a nice flavor that brings everything together. Calories calculated include it.
Directions
This is a no cook salad. It just requires cutting up all of the ingredients (i.e. the broccoli, apples, and cheese) then adding in the nuts and craisins.

I found it easiest to place all of my ingredients into a tupperware container with a lid as I go. When I have everything in there I place the lid on and shake it up to mix.

Keep it in the refridgerator it will last several days. A serving is 3/4 to 1 cup. Lightly dress.

Don't hesitate to experiment. I added other ingredients such as mandarin oranges, pineapple, and shredded carrots depending on my mood and what's in my refridgerator.

    I used sunflower seeds, no cheese and 1/2 c plain yogurt instead of poppyseed dressing, I believe... I made 3 or 4 salads that night! Wish I could remember, because I want to make another batch! - 4/1/11

    this is very very good!!! In the future I will use a little less cheese and salad dressing.
    If you add chicken it would be a perfect light lunch in a pita. - 5/23/10
