Broccoli with Cashews

This broccoli recipe was originally in Today's Diet & Nutrition magazine and called for the broccoli to be blanched. The ingredients looked good and inviting and we decided to make it raw. It's delicious and easy.

Makes 6 servings

1 large bunch broccoli (cut or pulled into smallish pieces)
1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
3 table spoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup raisins (or dried cranberries or mix raisins and cranberries) [maybe be soaked, if you wish]
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Mix everything in a bowl and refrigerate. Flavors will mix if eaten the next day but this is great right away as well. Enjoy.
