Broccoli Salad Recipe

Broccoli Salad

Summer wouldn't be complete without a fresh broccoli salad. This isn't your basic broccoli salad, though - we went a non-traditional mayonnaise route and used the Food Processor to make it as easy possible to put together.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 360 ml nonfat greek yogurt
1 lemon, peeled
4 pitted dates
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
1 Tablespoon dried onion flake
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
3 fresh dill
1/2 cup 70 g roasted cashews
salt and ground pepper, as desired, optional
1 1/2 110 g broccoli florets
1 110 g green onions, sliced into 2" pieces
2 cups 300 g dried cherries
1 1/2 cups 240 g roasted hulled sunflower seeds

1. Place the first 8 ingredients, through the cashews, into the Vitamix 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 Food Processor Work Bowl and secure the lid. Pulse the broccoli and onion mixture 5-6 times until evenly chopped 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.
