Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, hand-whisk together all dressing ingredients until thoroughly combined. Taste and add more salt/pepper as needed. Cover and chill until ready to use - can be made a day or two ahead.
- In a serving bowl, toss together the broccoli florets, red onion, dried cherries (or other dried fruit,) and apples. Pour dressing over broccoli salad and toss to combine well. If not serving yet, cover and chill several hours to overnight.
- When ready to serve: toss broccoli salad again. Gently stir in almonds and cheese; serve.
Notes
- A bit of real mayo provides creamier texture to the dressing, but it can be omitted if you prefer.
- Try roasted salted cashews, pistachios, or sunflower seeds as substitutions
