Broccoli Cashew Salad

Submitted by KPD123

"This recipe is different because it is a mustard based broccoli salad instead of mayo, which makes it great for picnics or bbqs. Can make up ahead of time and have chilling in fridge until ready to serve."

I made this for a vegan pot luck and omitted the bacon and cheese. Without those ingredients, the predominant flavor was the vinegar and I think it will be much better with the bacon and cheese added. Thanks for a new twist on the same old broccoli salad.
