Broccoli Salad

Ingredients:


Fresh broccoli florets-5 cups
Salt -1tbsp
Toasted slivered almonds-1/2 cup
Cooked chicken(cut into pieces)-1/2 cup
Red onion-1/4 cup
Frozen/Fresh peas-1 cup
Mayonnaise-1/2 cup
Apple cider Vinegar-2tbsp
Honey-1/4 cup


Method:

Bring a large pot of water, salted with a teaspoon of salt, to a boil. Add the broccoli florets. Cook 1-2 minutes, depending on how crunchy you want the broccoli. 1 minute will turn the broccoli bright green, and leave it still pretty crunchy.2 minutes will cook the broccoli through, but still firm.
Set your timer and do not cook for more than 2 minutes, or the broccoli will get mushy. Drain the broccoli and immediately put into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool and drain.

Combine broccoli florets, almonds, cooked chicken, chopped onion, and peas in a large serving bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, cider vinegar and honey. Add dressing to the salad and toss to mix well. Chill thoroughly before serving.
