Broccoli Salad with Creamy Almond Dressing


Description

Healthy Broccoli Salad – non-mayo-based vegan goodness! With purple cabbage, raisins, almonds, green onions, and almond butter dressing.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 heads broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 cups chopped purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

For the Miso Orange Dressing

  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons miso
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

Instructions

  1. Toss all the salad ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Pulse the dressing ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour over the salad ingredients and toss to combine.
  3. Serve immediately! Add more orange juice to add more moisture as needed.

Notes

Miso Substitute: We’ve subbed in soy sauce for the miso and it works great!

We’ve made this several times and we liked it with a handful of cooked quinoa thrown in for good measure as well as a little bit of crumbled bacon as a throwback to the original broccoli salad. 🙂

If you like salads with a lot of dressing, be sure to double up on the dressing for this one.

Also, if you don’t have access to miso, you could just use almond butter in place of the miso but be sure to compensate with additional salt to taste.
