BROCCOLI SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES AND CASHEWS

Broccoli Salad With Mandarin Oranges and Cashews image

A colorful and attractive salad with just the right combination of flavors--we especially love the tanginess from the cider vinegar. Fantastic! I sometimes replace the cashews with roasted sunflower seeds, and the mandarin oranges with raisins--it's great either way! Best made a day ahead of serving.
