A creamy and crunchy vegan broccoli salad with seeds, dried fruit, and a tangy dairy-free dressing.
5 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/3 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional)
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wash and chop broccoli into small pieces.
Combine broccoli, cranberries, seeds, onion, and carrots in a bowl.
Whisk vegan mayonnaise, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over salad and mix gently.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
For a whole-food version, use a blended cashew dressing instead of vegan mayonnaise.
