Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 medium heads / 700g (24.7 oz) Broccoli, florets chunked
  • 2 cups (180 g / 6.3 oz) Red Cabbage, shredded
  • 0.5 cups (45 g / 1.59 oz) Sliced Almonds, roasted
  • 1 stalk (15 g / 0.53 oz) Green Onions, sliced
  • 0.5 cups (85 g / 3 oz) Raisins
  • For the Orange Almond Dressing
  • 0.33 cup (80 ml) Orange Juice
  • 0.25 cup (64 g / 2.26 oz) Almond Butter
  • 2 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) Coconut Aminos
  • 1 small (20 g / 0.71 oz) Shallot, chopped finely
  • 0.5 tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) Salt
  • The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just give it a good whisk before using.
  • For an extra protein boost, add a can of drained chickpeas or some shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • To save time, use a bag of pre-cut broccoli florets and pre-shredded cabbage from the produce aisle.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Make the Dressing: In a food processor or blender, combine the orange juice, almond butter, coconut aminos, finely chopped shallot, and salt. Pulse until the dressing is perfectly smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the Salad: In a large bowl, add the broccoli florets, shredded red cabbage, roasted almonds, sliced green onions, and raisins.
  4. Toss and Serve: Pour the smooth dressing over the salad .
  5. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  6. Serve immediately for the best crunch, or let it marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge for deeper flavor.
  7. Don't have almonds? Toasted sunflower seeds or pecans make a fantastic substitute.
