Recipe for Broccoli Salad

Broccoli is so good for us, so it always nice to have a recipe to bring broccoli into meal time.  However, I can't say that the mayonnaise in this recipe is especially healthy, but the last time I made it I reduced the mayo down a bit and used almond milk to thin it and it worked well.  I also added about 1/4 cup of blueberry and pomegranate Craisins and 1/4 cup cashews and I loved the flavor these brought into the salad.  The recipe below is from my cookbook.  I hope you enjoy it...and I hope you will try adding the Craisins and cashews into the salad. :)
