Ingredients

- ⅓ cup almonds slivered
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries
Dressing
- ⅓ cup onion about 1/2 small onion, chopped; vidalia variety
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon mustard stone ground
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions
- Prep broccoli: Wash and dry broccoli before cutting into small crowns. Add to large bowl with matchstick carrots, diced red onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried cherries; set aside.
- Make dressing: Add everything into a blender, and blend until smooth. If you'd like a thinner dressing, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or non-dairy milk.
- Combine: Add dressing to bowl of salad ingredients, toss to coat.
- Let it soak: Broccoli salad is best when the dressing has some time to absorb into the broccoli crowns and other ingredients. If you can, let rest for at least one hour. Or prep a day ahead.
