Curried Broccoli Salad


Ingredients:

2 cups of broccoli, chopped into small pieces
2 cups of cooked Garbanzo beans (or 1 can)
1/2 cup of onion (yellow or red), chopped finely
1/4 cup of golden raisins
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1 tsp chili flakes
2 tsp of good quality yellow curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
one hand full of fresh cilantro, chopped

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili flakes and curry powder together to create a creamy dressing. Add together in a larger bowl with broccoli, beans, onion and raisins. Add salt and pepper to taste. Throw cilantro and a few sprinkles of chili flakes on top.

This salad can be served right away, or for better flavor, you can cover it and place in the fridge for one hour or more to allow the vegetables to absorb the spices. This one actually tastes even better the next day!

This salad serves four as a side dish.
