This Broccoli Salad with Smoked Almonds and Raisins is great because there's no cooking involved. Fresh broccoli is cut into small florets and tossed with a simple light mayonnaise-based dressing. I. add green onions, golden raisins, crunchy smoked almonds and sunflower seeds. I make it in the morning and add the nuts and seeds right before serving. It’s so good on a hot day.
