ana This salad is extremely simple, but full of flavor, and what is important, it keeps well in the fridge. A broccoli salad with honey mustard is a great dish in itself, but you can always add something else to it and make a full meal!
If the red onion is too spicy, you can use several chopped green onions in its place. Another option is to soak the red onion for about 5 minutes in ice water.
Instead of dried cranberries, dried cherries, raisins and even chopped dried apricots will work well.
