Broccoli, Peanut, and Dried Cherry Salad

I LOVE BROCCOLI SALADS, and what caught my eye on this one is the cherries!! SO good for you.
(serves 4)

3 T. plus 1/4 t. kosher salt, divided
6 cups small broccoli from 1 large head
1/2 cup sour cream
1 T. white wine vinegar
2 T. freshly squeezed orange juice (wish I could get some from Harvey's Groves in FL.!*)
1/4 t. freshly ground pepper
1/4-1/2* cup roughly chopped dried cherries
1/3 cup roughly chopped dry* roasted, salted peanuts

In a large pot, bring 4 qts. water and 3 T. salt to a boil. Add the broccoli, and cook until florets are just tender, about 3 min. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. When the broccoli is done, remove it from the boiling water with a slotted spoon, and put it in the ice bath to stop the cooking. Transfer to a towel-lined plate to drain. In a med. serving bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, and OJ. Season with pepper and remaining salt. Add the broccoli, cherries, and 1/4 cup peanuts. Toss to coat and combine. Garnish with remaining peanuts on top.
