Instructions

  1. Drain the cashews and place into a small food processor (mine is 3 cups.)  Add the remaining dressing ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides often. This will take a few minutes so be patient. 
  2. In a large bowl combine the broccoli, red onion, cilantro,  bacon and cranberries. Stir until evenly mixed. 
  3. Stir in the dressing until the salad is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors develop.
  4. Just before serving, mix in the sunflower seeds and cashews and DEVOUR
