Broccoli,
Ham, and Pineapple Salad
Raw
broccoli?! The kids didn’t get too excited about this but Merri
Ann and I loved it.
It was a hot and
sweltering evening (at least by Idaho standards) and neither one of
us was in the mood to cook. A quick trip to the refrigerator and this
went together in a hurry—maybe ten minutes. It was substantial
enough to satiate our appetites and—with broccoli and walnuts--we
declared it “guilt free”.
Broccoli,
Ham, and Pineapple Salad Recipe
This is one of those
salad recipes where you can add what looks right. Not enough green?
Add a little broccoli. Not sweet enough? Add a little more pineapple.
We’ll give you the amounts that we used but do what seems right
for you.
Salad dressing is
a little tangier than mayonnaise and complements the sweetness of the
pineapple well.
This is a very quick,
easy to make salad.
Ingredients
florets from one
head of broccoli
1/2 pound deli meat, ham or other
1 cup chopped walnuts
