Broccoli Strawberry Salad is full of broccoli florets, strawberry slices, mandarin oranges, blueberries and cashews tossed in a sweet and tangy mayonnaise-based dressing.

In addition to broccoli and lots of fruit, there’s also diced red onion and poppy seeds. A little feta cheese can be added for more flavor. An easy 3-ingredient dressing wonderfully coats the broccoli and fruit.
