Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli, chopped
- 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
Nuts and Seeds
- 1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
Other Ingredients
- 1/3 cup organic raisins
Vinaigrette
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons clover honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Either chop all the vegetables and herbs finely using a sharp knife or pulse them individually a few times in a food processor until finely chopped. This ensures a consistent texture throughout the salad.
- Make the Vinaigrette: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, freshly grated ginger, clover honey, and sea salt in a mason jar. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously to blend the dressing. Alternatively, whisk all vinaigrette ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate for up to an hour to let flavors meld before tossing with salad.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped vegetables, parsley, celery, almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins. Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Notes
- For best texture, finely chop vegetables instead of pureeing to maintain crunch.
- The salad can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but is best eaten fresh to retain crunchiness.
- Adjust honey amount in vinaigrette for desired sweetness.
- Make sure to shake or whisk the vinaigrette well before serving as ingredients may separate.
- Raw almonds and sunflower seeds add valuable healthy fats and protein.
