📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound broccoli florets, chopped into small bite size piece
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 small shallot, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 tablespoon tarragon, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, vegenaise, or Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place all the ingredients for the honey mustard dressing in a small bowl or salad dressing shaker and whisk or shake until emulsified. Set Aside.
2. 2Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat and gently shake the pan until the almonds turn golden brown. Almonds burn quickly so keep an eye on them and take them out of the pan as soon as the color darkens.
3. 3Put all the ingredients for the broccoli salad in a mixing bowl and pour the dressing over. Toss well and leave for 15-20 minutes, or overnight to soften the broccoli.
