Broccoli orange salad every time I take this sweet orange salad to a potluck, I get requests to pass around the recipe. From Cathy Lavers of Scotsburn Nova Scotia.

Ingredients

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream

4-1/2 teaspoons butter

4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium

bunch)

1 cup salted cashews

1 cup cubed Swiss cheese

1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, well

drained

1/2 cup raisins

6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup chopped red onion, optional

Method

In a heavy saucepan, combine egg, sugar, honey, mustard and cornstarch with a whisk until smooth.

Gradually whisk in water and vinegar. Cook and stir over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160° and mixture is thickened.

Remove from the heat; stir in mayonnaise, sour cream and butter until blended. Cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine broccoli, cashews, cheese, oranges, raisins, bacon and onion if desired. 

Just before serving, add dressing and toss to coat. Yield: 8-10 servings
