Curried Broccoli Cranberry Salad

Came up with this for a more exotic twist on the classic bacon broccoli salad, since many of us are vegetarians. Makes a great summer potluck dish, and a quick side to a world cuisine menu. Play with the type of curry powder you use to change up the base flavor.

Ingredients :

• 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
• ½ red bell pepper, chopped
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 4 scallions, chopped
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon curry powder, or more to taste
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)

Directions :

1. Mix broccoli, red bell pepper, cranberries, walnuts, and scallions together in a large bowl.
2. Whisk mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, curry powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until smooth; pour over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate salad until flavors blend, 2 hours to overnight. Toss well before serving.
