Broccoli-nut salad is a Southern potluck staple. Raw broccoli florets are combined with grated carrots, diced red onions, and candied walnuts then tossed with a slightly tangy and sweet dressing. Some folks add bacon bits, others add dried cranberries or raisins, and then there are those that mix in salted peanuts, but we like ours with candied walnuts. However you like it, it's the perfect summer meal served outdoors. While you can always make your own candied walnuts, we picked up a bag on our last trip to Trader Joe's.
