Equipment

  • Whisk

Ingredients

Broccoli Salad

  • 1 lb broccoli crowns longer stems diced and florets cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium-sized apple skin on, diced (I like pink lady apples)
  • 1 cup red or purple grapes cut in half
  • ¼ cup almonds or sunflower seeds, chopped
  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts

Dressing

  • ⅓ cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ clove garlic crushed or micrograted
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
Imperial - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large salad bowl, whisk up mayo, mustard, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, garlic, and pepper.
  • Add the broccoli, apple, grapes, almonds, and hemp hearts. Toss thoroughly to coat.

Notes

This salad keeps really well in the fridge for 2-3 days, but is most flavourful on the first day.
Making the florets quite small means more dressing coverage, making it even more delicious.
