Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup dairy-free mayo
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and thoroughly drying the broccoli. Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
Thinly slice half of a medium red onion, aiming for pieces that are not too large to maintain balance in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, raisins, sliced red onion, and sunflower seeds. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the dairy-free mayo, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to toss the salad, ensuring all pieces are well coated with dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a delightful side dish or as a light main course.
