Easy Vegan Broccoli Summer Salad
This vegan broccoli salad is the perfect balance of crisp and creamy and is the perfect side dish for a summer BBQ!
Ingredients
- 2 crowns broccoli
- ½ large red onion
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- ½ cup craisins
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
Dressing
- ¾ cup vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Start by chopping the broccoli into bite sized pieces. Remove any broccoli stems. You can keep them for a soup but they aren't for this salad ;)
- Cut the grapes into halves.
- Finely chop half of 1 medium sized red onion.
- Add the broccoli, grapes, red onion, craisins, and slivered almonds into a large bowl.
- In a jar or small bowl, add the vegan mayo, vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Top the salad with the dressing, and give it a good mix.
- If you have time, let it marinate in the fridge for up to 2 hours. Make sure to give it a quick toss before serving as some of the smaller items can fall to the bottom of the bowl.
- Serve, and enjoy!
