Broccoli Cauliflower and Cashew Salad

Sometimes you need something different to go alongside your summer burger or pulled pork sandwich.  This one caught my eye because of the yummy cashews, and it so happened I just bought a monstrous can of them at Sams Club!  This salad is great, the dressing is sweet but compliments everything well.  The hubby doesn't care for cashews much, so he got peanuts instead....he said it worked well, just in case you're not a cashew fan :)
