Sweet Crunch Winter Salad
Description
Sweet Crunch Winter Salad combines chopped purple cabbage and broccoli with shredded carrot and sliced green onions for a crisp, fresh vegetable base. Sunflower seeds add a nutty crunch, and dried cranberries lend subtle sweetness and chewiness. The maple tahini dressing, made with tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, water, and a touch of cayenne and garlic powder, provides a creamy, mildly sweet and slightly spicy coating that binds all ingredients together.
The salad can be stored undressed in the refrigerator for several days without losing its texture, making it practical for meal prepping. Dressing just before serving keeps the vegetables crisp and evenly coated. This salad offers a nourishing side or light meal, balancing crunchy textures and a mix of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors that complement winter produce.
