Similar to another favorite salad with broccoli and cauliflower, but with no mayo. The sesame oil gives it a slightly Asian flavor. To toast the almonds, spread on single layer on parchment lined sheet pan. Roast at 300 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Do not over roast! Let cool completely before using in this salad.

How To Make southern broccoli salad

Step 1

For the dressing, place the raisins and onions in a small bowl. Add the vinegar, salt, sugar, and water. Let sit for 10 minutes to pickle.

Step 2

Meanwhile, start the salad. Peel the tough exterior of the broccoli stems and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Cut the florets into 1/2-inch pieces, too. Place in a large bowl. Add apples and both green and white parts of sliced onions.
Step 3

After 10 minutes, finish the dressing - add the oils to the bowl with the pickled raisins, and onions. Stir well to combine. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
Step 4

Add the dressing to the broccoli. Toss well and taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5

Just before eating, add the almonds and grapes. Gently toss. Serve at room temperature.
