Broccoli cranberry salad

Day after Thanksgiving holiday table

Believe it or not, this was the only “cooking” I did over the holiday weekend. For Thanksgiving I had a yummy turkey dinner at the Bird Key Yacht Club in Sarasota, which required no prep and no clean-up!

The only shopping I really did on Black Friday was at the grocery store – to pick up the ingredients for this salad. I found this recipe on Facebook, one of my amazing and fantastic friends “shared” it, I just can’t remember exactly to whom to give the credit. I took a screen shot of the recipe from my phone so that I wouldn’t forget it.
