Instructions
- Drain the water from the cashews, and place them in a high-powered food processor. Add all the remaining dressing ingredients and process on the lowest speed, then slowly increase the speed until it is at its highest.
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This will take a good 2 to 4 minutes, and you'll need to stop and scrape down the sides frequently.
- Add all the salad ingredients into a very large bowl. Add the dressing and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this helps the broccoli absorb all the flavor) or overnight.
- Once chilled, taste and add extra salt and pepper if needed.
