Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head broccoli (about 1 pound, cut into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups))
3 medium apples (I recommend gala, pink cripps, or fuji cored and cut into bite-size pieces)
1/2 small red onion (diced (about 1/3 cup))
1/3 cup golden raisins (dried cranberries also work)
1/4 cup candied sliced almonds (plain sliced almonds, unsalted pepitas, or unsalted sunflower seeds)

Steps:

  • First, make the dressing. Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • Assemble the salad. Add the broccoli, apples, onion, and raisins to a large bowl and stir gently to combine.
  • Pour the dressing over the top and stir gently until everything's coated with the dressing. At this point you can refrigerate the salad for several hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the nuts or seeds over the top.
