Raw Broccoli Salad with Sweet Soy Vinaigrette
This Raw Broccoli Salad with Sweet Soy Vinaigrette gets dressed up with a handful of fresh herbs and Honey-Turmeric Walnuts (add a pinch of smoked chile flakes while they toast if you’re feeling spicy)!
I have been trying to find plenty of ways to work in raw cruciferous veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc) throughout the week for their many health benefits — high fiber, incredible cell-protective antioxidants like sulforaphane, the list goes on and on! — and I am obsessed with making sure everyone knows that the broccoli stem is truly the most underrated and delicious part of the vegetable. Enjoy!

Honey-Turmeric Walnuts:
•Preheat oven to 350F.
•Toss all ingredients together, then arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the aroma is warm and nutty and walnuts are lightly golden brown at the center if you split one open, 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drizzle with a little more honey while they cool if you prefer more sweet. Allow to cool until crisp.
