Broccoli Salad [Food Processor Attachment]

Summer wouldn't be complete without a fresh broccoli salad. This isn't your basic broccoli salad, though - we used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and the Food Processor made it quick and easy to put together.

Ingredients

For the Dressing:
1 ½ cups 360 ml nonfat greek yogurt
1 lemon, peeled
4 dates, pitted
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
1 Tablespoon dried onion flake
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 fresh dill
½ cup 70 g roasted cashews
For the Salad:
1 ½ pound 680 g broccoli florets
1 110 g green onions, sliced into 2" pieces
2 cups 300 g dried cherries
1 ½ cups 240 g roasted hulled sunflower seeds
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Place the first 8 ingredients, from the yogurt to the cashews, into the Vitamix blending container in the order listed and secure the lid. Blend for 1 minute and 30 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Remove from the container and place into the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes to chill.
2. Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade. Working in 2-3 batches, place approximately half the broccoli and green onions into the container and secure the lid. Pulse the broccoli and onion mixture 5-6 times or desired consistency is reached. Repeat the same process until all ingredients are processed.
3. Place the chopped broccoli and green onion into a large bowl and add the dried cherries and sunflower seeds. Pour the refrigerated dressing over top, gently tossing to coat and incorporate all the ingredients. Refrigerate before serving.
