Directions: |
Directions:Separate broccoli into florets. Slice tender stalks into thin, crosswise coin shapes. Bring a 2 quart saucepan half full of lightly salted water to a boil. Toss in florets and coins and blanch for 30 seconds, then drain quickly and immerse broccoli in a bowl of ice water. Drain again and chill. Meanwhile, spread pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast at 350º for 5-7 minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad. To make dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together sugar and vinegar. Stir in soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Whisk in oil and mayonnaise until smooth. Set aside. In a serving bowl, combine broccoli, onion slices, red pepper and raisins. Break toasted pecans in half. Just before serving, pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss to coat ingredients well. Scatter pecans on top. |
