This is a great copycat recipe based off of Sweet Tomatoes Broccoli Cashew Salad. My son loved this salad so I embarked on recreating it. The result was a success and we now have another salad to add to our list.

And, this salad isn’t just for summertime. I served this at Thanksgiving and it was a hit. A beautiful bright green accent to all the brown in a typical Thanksgiving meal. To make it a little more festive, change the raisins out for Craisins.
Enjoy!
