Happy Friday!
I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas and made some wonderful new memories with family and friends, enjoyed lots of good food and got all you wanted? If you didn't, just go shopping.
However, I've decided to enjoy a relaxing, do much of nothing day at home.
I must admit, I ate too much yesterday, so I'm going for a cleansing, much lighter fare today.
Broccoli, carrots, cranberries, onions and walnuts are all on the cleansing foods list, and they are all in this tasty salad. Super easy to make, everything goes in a bowl, toss with the Miso dressing and it's ready to enjoy.
Crispy, crunchy, healthy, yummy salad, that's what this is.
You can enjoy this tasty salad alone or as a side.
I enjoyed a big bowl of this yummy salad all alone.

Dear Celeste, What a fabulous recipe for Broccoli Salad with Miso Dressing you shared at Lou Lou Girls Fabulous Party #39. It looks simple, flavorful, and nutritious. It will be one I try in 2015 for sure. If you get a chance, please check out Yummy Vegan Eggplant at this Link Up Party. I pined your recipe for black eyed peas collard chili at my Pinterest Good Food Board. Yum, yum.
Warm regards, Nancy A. @ obloggernewbie.blogspot.com
