Favorite Broccoli Salad
An easy method for enjoying your preferred vegetable
Equipment
- Mixing bowl/ mason jar
- Salad/ serving bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb Broccoli florets thinly sliced and then roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Raw Sunflower seeds any pepitas
- 1/2 cup Red Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese optional
- 1/3 cup Dried Cranberries dried tart cherries, chopped
- 1/3 cup Gala Apples sliced or diced
Honey Mustard Dressing
- 1/3 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 medium Garlic Clove pressed or minced
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
Instructions
- Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they’ll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
- Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese, apples and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
- In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
- Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.
