In a large bowl, stir together the salad ingredients. -
Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing to combine.
Cooking Tip: Some brands of peanut butter are thicker than others, so you may need to add more water to thin the dressing.
Keep it Healthy: If you're using fresh broccoli, chop up the stems as well as the crowns. They add flavor and texture to the salad and are quite nutritious.
Tip: Buying a package of precut broccoli can be more expensive, but it will save you time.
