I’ve fallen in love with this broccoli salad dish that incorporates honey toasted walnuts. I heat some olive oil and honey in a pan on medium-high heat and add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, stirring the mixture until the sauce thickens and the walnuts brown. I then toss some broccoli florets into boiling water for a few minutes until just tender. After cooling them, they get tossed into a bowl with shaved carrots, diced apples and the toasted walnuts. In this version I dressed the salad with Vegenaise but you can use any favorite salad dressing. The crisp, rich honeyed walnuts taste amazing and are the real star of the dish! Those nuggets blended with crunchy apples and carrots covered in a creamy mayo make this a wow recipe.

To lower the sugar content, feel free to omit the honey when toasting the walnuts. The apples provide natural sweetness.
