I really liked the twist of the addition of mandarin oranges to broccoli salad. I did put the raisins in before chilling because they were firm and I wanted them to soften up and absorb some of the dressing. Because I was out, I substituted lime juice for lemon, and quite liked the result.

Very good, I served the raisins and nuts on the side, I didn't want them to get soggy.
