Broccoli and Apple Rainbow Salad
Colorful salads always seem a little more inviting, and this one is no exception. Crisp broccoli, sweet apples, and plenty of fresh ingredients come together in a side dish that's refreshing, crunchy, and easy to bring to potlucks or family dinners.
Servings: 4
Salad:
- 5 cups mixed greens*
- 1/2 large orange bell pepper diced
- 1/3 cup radishes sliced
- 1/2 cup diced broccoli
- 1/3 cup purple cabbage chopped
- 1/2 large apple (I use honey crisp) diced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/3 cup roasted almonds chopped
For the Almond Butter Dressing:
- 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or GF soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
Assemble your salad: toss together greens, radishes, broccoli, bell pepper, and apples.
Make the dressing by placing all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth.
Pour dressing on top of salad and toss until completely mixed. Top with almonds and cilantro.
*Use a variety of chopped greens. I use arugula, romaine, and spinach in this variation.
