Ingredients
  

  • 3 raw broccoli stalks and florets, chopped
  • 1.5 cups sunflower seeds
  • 1.5 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated (optional)

DRESSING

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbs French wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add all your salad ingredients and set aside.
  • In a liquid measuring jug, add all of the dressing ingredients and whisk well until combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until the broccoli is lightly coated in the dressing. Let marinate for about 20 mins - overnight before serving.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make the night before to save you time on the day.
  • Leftovers keep well for three days refrigerated.
  • Don't be fooled! The broccoli doesn't need to be cooked; once it's soaked in the dressing, it's good to go!
