About This Recipe

Healthy broccoli salad with raisins and sunflower seeds tossed with a creamy homemade honey mustard dressing (no mayo!). It makes an easy and healthy side dish for potlucks, picnics, and BBQs. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo.

Ingredients

• 8 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces ((600 grams))
• 1/2 cup diced red onion ((65 grams))
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
• salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Make the honey mustard. In a jar or measuring cup, add the avocado oil, djion, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
2. Make the broccoli salad. In a large bowl, add the broccoli, red onion, raisins, sunflower seeds, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Pour over the honey mustard dressing and toss to combine and broccoli is evenly coated.
3. Enjoy! Place in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together (I recommend doing this) or eat right away.
