You can blanch the broccoli if you wish, but I like it just as much if the broccoli is raw. I try to use just the florets and cut off the tough stem.

In large bowl mix broccoli, tomatoes, onion, olives ... toss.

In a mixing cup, whisk mayo, soy sauce, lemon, salt, pepper together.

Add dressing slowly to vegetable mixture to get the coverage you wish ... some like more and some like less dressing.

Add cashews just before serving otherwise they will get mushy.
