Ingredients
Creamy Hemp Dressing
Broccoli Salad
Instructions
Creamy Hemp Dressing
- Place dressing ingredients (except parsley) in a blender and blend until very smooth. Add a tablespoon more water if needed to get the blender going.
- Add the parsley and blend until chopped.
- Place in the fridge to chill. The dressing can be made ahead and will last 3-4 days refrigerated.
Broccoli Salad
- Finely chop the broccoli and place in a large bowl—you should have about 4 cups. Broccoli stems are fine as long as they are finely chopped.
- Add the cabbage, radishes, onion, and turnips to the bowl.
- Add most of the dressing and toss well. You want the salad really creamy and generously coated.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Before serving, sprinkle with hemp or sunflower seeds, add sprouts, parsley leaves, and avocado if desired.
Notes
- If using cashews instead of hemp seeds, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before blending for a smoother dressing.
- Watermelon radishes make a beautiful and colorful addition to this salad.
- This salad is best served chilled and can be made ahead for meal prep.
