Ingredients

This salad is light, tangy, and delicious.  It has no added sugar, no meat, and no dairy.  It uses mayo, but a vegan mayo can certainly be substituted.

1/3 cup diced shallot (or red onion)

1/3 dried cranberries

1/3 cup shelled pistachios (can sub toasted almonds)

Dressing

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons mayo

1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

How to Make Broccoli Salad

Chop the broccoli florets into 1/2 inch pieces and chop the stems into 1/4 each pieces.

In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients – mayo, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic.  The dressing will be loose and runny.  Whisk until it’s fully emulsified and combined.

Add the chopped broccoli, diced apple, diced shallot, dried cranberries and salted pistachio nuts to the bowl and mix well to combine with the dressing.  The salad tastes better as it soaks up the dressing.

Serve chilled or room temperature, but don’t let it sit out for too long since it has mayo.
