We get this weekly organic produce delivery. Often times we are left with a strange variety of foods. I am blessed in the way that I like pretty much all food. And so does my Husband... AND get this.. so does my 3 year old. (p.s. that comes from giving him what we want him to have and no other options!) So I can literally open the refrigerator and pull out the foods that need to be eaten and come up with a meal... or at least a side dish.
And THAT is how the Raw Broccoli and Brussel Salad was born.
I love eating at least 1-2 raw meals a day. It's not NEW knowledge that vitamins and minerals are depleted in the cooking process. So, to get the most out of your daily diet, eat a few raw fruit and vegetable meals.
What I used:
For the salad:
1 bunch broccoli
15 brussels sprouts
4 carrots
1 cup Sunflower sprouts (because we had em)
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup dried cranberries (sweetened with apple juice)
1/4 cup golden raisins
For the dressing:6 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
6 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
4 TBS Honey
4 tsp dijon mustard
4 tsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp fresh graound black pepper
tumeric *optional
I trimmed the ends of all the veggies. Using a potato peeler, I peeled the stems of the broccoli, the carrots, and took off the first few layers of the brussels. Threw it all in the food processor, using the shred blade and shredded those guys up. I chopped the red onion and tossed all ingredients in a bowl.
Lastly, whisk the dressing ingredients and fold into the salad.
It's beautiful, smells awesome, and tastes wonderful.
My husband LOVED it!!!
RAW FOR THE WIN!!!!
Made with your health in mind.
