Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups broccoli florets shredded
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • Dressing Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cup avocado mayonnaise
  • 3 TBS lemon juice
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/3 cup green onions sliced
  • 3 TBS maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, add the Broccoli Salad Ingredients. See the tips above on how to shred florets to smaller, bite size pieces, two ways to cook bacon, and how to soak the red onions in water for 15 minutes to take the "bite" out.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the dressing ingredients. Give it a good stir, or even better use an emulsion blender, and then pour over the broccoli salad in the larger bowl. Stir to combine completely and enjoy!
