 Categories: Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts
      Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM--------------------------DRESSING-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Golden or black raisins or
           - craisins
    1/2    Red onion; fine sliced
    1/4 c  Apple cider vinegar
      4 ts Granulated sugar
           Salt
      3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
      1 tb Sesame oil

MMMMM---------------------------SALAD--------------------------------
  1 1/2 lb Broccoli
      1    Apple; cored, diced 1/2"
      2    Scallions; white & green,
           - fine sliced
           Salt & black pepper
    1/2 c  Toasted sliced almonds,
           - pepitas or sunflower seeds
      1 c  Red or green grapes;
           - halved crosswise
           - (optional)

  Dressing:

  Place raisins and red onion in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar,
  3/4 ts salt, and 2 tb water, and toss to combine. Leave to pickle
  for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  Peel the woody exterior from the broccoli stalks and discard. Chop
  the stalks into 1/2" pieces. Chop the broccoli florets into 1/2"
  pieces. The pieces do not have to be uniform or the same shape.
  Place all the broccoli into a large mixing bowl.

  After 10 minutes, finish the dressing by adding the olive oil and
  sesame oil to the bowl with the pickling raisins and red onion, and
  stir well to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. It
  should be tangy, slightly sweet, and a little salty.

  Add the raisin-and-onion dressing to the broccoli along with the
  apple and scallions. Using two large spoons, toss well so that
  everything is well coated. Season with 1/2 ts salt and black pepper
  to taste. Taste to make sure you are happy with the seasonings,
  adding more if needed.

  When you are ready to eat, add the almonds and grapes (if using),
  and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.
