Broccoli salad with dried apricots, raisins, and nuts
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. Unusual combination of ingredients for a salad, isn't it? Yet in many countries, people often make this salad, sometimes adding crispy fried bacon and grated cheese. I enjoy trying new dishes, and I prepare this salad exactly this way—though sometimes I replace the mayonnaise dressing with natural yogurt. Give it a try, maybe you'll like it too :) The salad is ready to serve.
