I’ll admit–I was skeptical of this salad at first. Wasn’t sure if I’d like the raw broccoli. But I had lots of dried cherries to use up (thanks to a gracious gift from my in-laws!) Turns out his salad is super! It’s crunchy, sweet, savory, and a touch spicy from the curry. Try it at your next pot-luck. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks to allrecipes.com for the recipe.
