Green Broccoli Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 heads broccoli
  • 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup cashews, toasted and salted
  • 2 tbsp. black sesame seeds (use white if you can't find black)
Asian Dressing
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or cashew butter)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 inch ginger root (peeled)
  • 1 medjool date soaked in boiling water for 10 mins
  • 2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp. coconut aminos

Instructions

For the Salad
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, cut the two heads of broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli and leave to cook for exactly 1 minute.  Do not cook longer than one minute, or the broccoli will turn mushy.
  • After 1 minute, remove the broccoli and place them in a bowl filled with ice and water. Once the broccoli is cool, drain and place in a large bowl. 
  • In your serving bowl, combine the broccoli florets, scallions, toasted cashews, and sesame seeds.
  • Add the desired amount of dressing, toss, and serve.
Dressing
  • In a blender or Nutri bullet container, combine all of the dressing ingredients and blend until smooth.
