Once in awhile, the most unlikely pairing of foods actually turns out to be a fabulous combination. Take, for instance, sweet, juicy grapes and earthy, vegetal broccoli. They might not seem like very complimentary ingredients, but together in this salad, they make quite a satisfying duo. What pulls them together is a creamy, slightly tangy dressing with a touch of honey — not unlike a coleslaw dressing — and the addition of crunchy toasted nuts and sharp red onion. With these additions, broccoli and grapes suddenly make perfect sense together, bursting with contrasting color, flavor and textures!
