Steaming the broccoli florets over the stems was a genius move!

Absolutely delicious. I just made it. Added roasted sweet potato & carrots. Toasted nuts & seeds. Absolutely heavenly

I made the dressing and it is a blessing, smooth and creamy and has multiple applications. I am on the AIP diet and I use avocados to replace mayo in tuna salad. Can't wait to use this dressing in my next batch!

used this dressing but with macadamia nut oil instead of olive oil, on a pasta/chicken/red bell pepper / peeled apple, and onions soaked in ACV for my son who has Crohns ulcerative colitis. Had to peel the bell pepper first. Was really good as we are in summer now, and cannot have many of our usual summer foods due to his dietary restrictions. Thank you. I will make your broccoli version for myself. xxx

My broccoli salad calls for raisins, which adds a nice sweetness to the salad. I would think cranberries do the same thing.

@KitarraChaosWeaver Жыл бұрын

I tried this and....I am somewhat disappointed. The dressing was brilliant. 10/10 would use again! But the broccoli was...flavorless. It tasted like steamed broccoli. Steaming sucks all the flavor out of broccoli. No matter how well I dry it, it still tastes watery. This salad would be 1000 times better if the broccoli was roasted first. It would also be a nice textural experience as you would get crispy bits. I will be making this salad again but, sour cherries instead of cranberries and roasted broccoli instead of steamed. Thanks for the idea!
