Sweet and Sour Broccoli Salad
(from maggiwun’s recipe box)
Don’t be put off by the agave syrup, which I found in the health food store and is extremely expensive, honey could easily be used as a substitute. Also, I didn’t have Spike seasoning and used Emeril’s instead. In fact, you could go without either one and I don’t think it would make that much difference. This recipe was a hit at my dinner party.
