Many of you know that I love salad. When I’m in a hurry, you’ll often find me chowing down on a heap of raw spinach leaves or romaine lettuce, drizzled with one of my many homemade salad dressings, but when I have the time, I enjoy being more creative.
This salad is a tasty way to enjoy broccoli. It’s easy to make and is the perfect addition to a holiday spread or as part of a weekday meal.

Is that a lot of horseradish? I don't normally use it as an ingredient, but I am familiar with it. A Tbsp. seems like it would be a lot. It's one of those things where a little can go a long way. And if you buy it, how do you use up the rest of it?
It sounds like a lot, but you hardly notice it. You can often find it in small containers at the grocery store. It goes great on roast beef.

I like all those ingredients separately, but all tossed together like that? I'll have to pass; sorry.
Ellie I noticed a longgg lag time before you post comments now on your 3 blogs.
Hmm, most of the comments on this blog are moderated almost instantly. On the other blogs, I moderate at least twice a day.

1 Tbsp is not alot of horseradish
You can use horseradish with steak. Just dip your steak in horseradish it's really good and if you have a cold it opens up your nose.
Sounds good I can't wait to try it.
Thanks Miley. Be sure to let me know how you like it. š

This sounds delicious Ellie. I make a broccoli salad as well and this is a wonderful variation on it. Really light and fresh. I will be making this. Thanks for continuing to share such tasty recipes. Eileen
Glad to hear that, Eileen! Let me know what you think of it.

I have a question. Do you know where you can buy really nice medium sized rectangular mirrors? I don't want them to be to big or too expensive. Any help will be great! Thanks!!

Hi Madeline,
When we got married, I bought a nice mirror with a wooden border from an antique store for $14. You might also check thrift stores.

I've had both straight-edge (for framing) and beveled-edge mirrored glass (mounted on Masonite backing for hanging) made to size at a glass shop. Look in the phone book or online for a local shop. If nothing else, you might get a price quote for comparison purposes. Also, this time of year, anywhere that sells dorm furnishings might have framed mirrors (Target, home organization stores, etc.).
sounds good! Thanks for sharing the recipeš
