Shopping List

For the Salad
- 2 1/2 cups raw broccoli florets (about 6 ounces)
- 1/2 cup maple almond granola (store-bought or grain-free rosemary granola)
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries For the Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Chop the broccoli into very small 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces. For any thick stalk pieces, peel them well before chopping.
- Step 2: Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Step 3: Add the chopped broccoli, granola, and cranberries to a mixing bowl. Pour in the dressing and stir to combine. The dressing will work as a marinade to help soften the raw broccoli. This salad actually improves after it has rested in its marinade for a while.
- Serve: Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
