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
