Raw Broccoli Salad

Thursday, 22 September 2022 11:00


My new favourite. This easy salad contains broccoli for calcium and vitamin C, toasted seeds for vitamin E and fibre, and red onion which contains anthocyanins - pigments thought to protect against heart disease.

Serves 2:
You'll need:

1 head of broccoli - remove the stalk then roughly chop


1 red onion


1 or 2 golden delicious apples


1 handful of toasted seeds - I used a mix of sunflower, linseed and pumpkin


1 handful of dried cranberries



Optional:


Grated cheddar cheese and left greens.


Honey Mustard Dressing:


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


1 table spoon apple cider vinegar


Half tablespoon dijon mustard


Half tablespoon honey 


1 crushed clove of garlic


Pinch of sea salt

Super simple instructions:

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.


Roughly chop the broccoli, red onion and apples and add to a large bowl. Add the nuts and cranberries then mix thoroughly.


Add the dressing and mix again.


Serve with a handful or tortilla chips or a small slice of crusty bread for lunch, or with grilled fish for dinner.
