Do you love curry? Are you looking for a new recipe to introduce your family to the delicious flavor that curry can bring to food? Then this Broccoli Salad with a Curry Dressing is just the recipe to try! Not too hot with spice, and with all flavors being presented, definitely not too boring!
We have been enjoying our ongoing explorations with curry, with great success! Curry is one of those flavors that you either love or possibly not at all. When I think back to my childhood home, I am pretty sure that little can of curry powder in my mom's kitchen cabinet was several years old! Curry just wasn't a common ingredient in my mom's recipes or the dishes she cooked regularly. And with all honesty, I think the level of curry that we enjoy in this house, would be considered very mild by true curry lovers! But this Broccoli Salad with a Curry Dressing really hits the spot!
The subtle flavor of this dressing made me a curry spice lover!
The curry in the dressing brings all of the different flavors together. It goes beautifully with the sweetness of the dried cranberries, the crunch of the broccoli, and the salty edge in the bacon. With all those flavors and textures blending together to make one delicious and enjoyable salad.I recommend that you make this salad in the morning or the night before, offering time for the flavors to mingle with one another. Then right before serving, sprinkle the peanuts or cashews over the top.
Don't be afraid to serve it with style!
Recently I made this delicious salad for my clients at work, using cashews and garnishing with Nasturtium blossoms from their greenhouse. I couldn't help but notice, just how beautiful this salad is. Making it perfect to share at a potluck or family gathering. So the next time you are at the market, grab a couple crowns of broccoli and enjoy this delicious Broccoli Salad with a Curry Dressing...you won't be sorry.

ReplyDeleteIt really works with the flavor of the fresh broccoli, I hope you give it a try!
