DEEEEELICIOUS BROCCOLI & RED ONION SALAD AKA..ANTI CANCER SALAD



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)
Dressing- Honey Dijon

  • 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
