I absolutely love this recipe and for more reasons than just the great taste of it. The nutritional benefits of this salad make it an A-lister for sure..you may as well just call this the cancer fighting salad.
Broccoli has been referred to as the miracle food because it is loaded with nutrients; such as, more calcium than a glass of milk, antioxidants vitamin c & a, fiber, folic acid...etc. Combine this with red onion and all its bacteria fighting, asthma supporting, cancer fighting and common cold fighting nutrients...and of course almonds with all their phytochemicals, vitamin E and Vitamin B17 ..etc..ok so lets get to the recipe:
- 5 cups fresh organic broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup raw organic almonds
- 1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
- 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
