Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup organic raisins

Vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Either finely chop the cauliflower, broccoli, red cabbage, carrots, celery, and parsley using a sharp knife, or pulse them individually a few times in a food processor until finely chopped.
  2. Mix the vinaigrette: In a mason jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, clover honey, and sea salt. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well blended. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate for up to an hour for best flavor before use.
  3. Combine the salad: In a large bowl, add the chopped vegetables, almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Serve or store: Serve immediately or store the salad and vinaigrette separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator if preparing ahead of time. Toss just before serving for optimal freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Variations: Add chopped curly kale for extra leafy greens.
  • For different nut options, use Marcona almonds instead of regular almonds or substitute with pistachios.
  • You can swap Thompson seedless raisins with golden raisins for a different sweetness profile.
  • For a fruity twist, replace raisins with fresh blueberries.
  • To make the salad ahead, chop all ingredients finely and store salad and dressing separately in airtight containers. Toss and serve when ready.
