Step 1

Toast walnuts or pecans over medium/high heat, tossing them occasionally so they don't burn. Heat about 4-5 minutes then transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop.

Step 2

Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces, grate carrot, chop the apple and thinly slice onion, and transfer into a salad bowl. Add toasted pecans and dried raisins or cranberries.

Step 3

To make the creamy dressing, combine: mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar (to taste), salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Add dressing to taste or use the full amount like we do and toss to combine.

Chef’s notes

This salad refrigerates well and is delicious even the next day.

The lemon dressing helps to preserve the apples and slows down the browning process.

You can substitute sugar with honey for a paleo version.
