cranberry and almond broccoli salad

Yea, you know the one.

In the deli section.

With the tender broccoli stems and the dried cranberries and the toasted almonds?

Well, this is pretty darn close.

I cheat and use broccoli slaw mix and that makes it a cinch to prepare.

Toss a few more ingredients in and you've got it made.

Happy Memorial Day!
