Broccoli Mandarin Orange Salad

This recipe was in my ThedaCare Cookbook. This is another great recipe for Easter.

Ingredients:

• 5 cups broccoli
• 2 Tablespoons almond, chopped-I used quite a bit more.
• 2- 11 oz cans mandarin oranges, well drained-I used 1 can of mandarin oranges and cut the pieces in half.
• 1 orange, zested and juiced
• 5 green onions chopped
• 3 Tablespoons white vinegar-I used  1 1/2 Tablespoons cider vinegar.
• 1 Tablespoon sugar-I used 2 Tablespoons honey.
• 1 Tablespoon oil-not necessary.

Directions:

1. Steam broccoli in covered saucepan for 3 minutes.
2. Remove quickly and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
3. Place in a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate.
4. Meanwhile in a medium sized bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.
5. Toss gently and let stand at room temperature 15-30 minutes to marinate flavors.
6. When ready to serve pour marinate over the broccoli and toss very gently.
