Ingredients
For the Broccoli Salad
- 1 pound broccoli florets 450g
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries 65g
- ¼ red onion finely sliced
- 5 tablespoons pecans roughly chopped
For the Maple Pumpkin Seed Dressing
- 4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoons maple syrup
- salt and pepper
Instructions
For the salad
- Chop the raw broccoli into bite-sized florets. Finely slice the onion.
- Add the broccoli, dried cranberries, sliced onions and pecans to a bowl and mix well.
For the dressing
- Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat, then add the pumpkin seeds and toast them for a few minutes, shaking often until they just start to darken slightly.
- Reserve half of the pumpkin seeds for the salad, and pour the remainder into a food processor or blender.
- Add the rest of the dressing ingredients, plus 2 tablespoons of water, and blitz until fairly smooth.
Assemble
- Add reserved pumpkin seeds to the salad, pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to merge. Serve chilled. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Freshness is Key: Use the freshest broccoli for optimal crunch. If the broccoli is slightly wilted, revive it by soaking it in ice water for a few minutes.
- Don't Rush the Dressing: Take the time to toast the pumpkin seeds properly. It adds a depth of flavor that's worth the extra few minutes.
- Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup in the dressing according to your sweetness preference. Some like it sweeter, while others prefer a more subtle sweetness.
