Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 1/2 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 Ingredients

  • 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. Chop Ingredients: Using a sharp knife, finely chop the cauliflower, broccoli, red cabbage, carrots, parsley, and celery. Alternatively, pulse each vegetable separately in a food processor a few times until finely chopped but not pureed.
  2. Prepare Vinaigrette: In a mason jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, clover honey, and sea salt. Seal the jar and shake vigorously to emulsify. Alternatively, whisk these ingredients together in a small bowl. For best flavor, refrigerate the vinaigrette for up to an hour before use.
  3. Toss Salad: In a large bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables, almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well to evenly coat all ingredients.

Notes

  • Chopping vegetables finely ensures a crisp, evenly textured salad.
  • The vinaigrette can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours.
  • Raw nuts and seeds add crunch and healthy fats, but can be omitted or substituted for allergies.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
