Broccoli as a salad base? Yes, and we can honestly say that it’s quite refreshing to enjoy a salad that embraces unique ingredients. Forget the lettuce or field greens and get ready to crunch on a variety of textures and flavors. While there are some slaw recipes that utilize broccoli stems in shredded form, this salad embraces the florets, giving you a unique salad experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raw broccoli seems to taste better with a creamy dressing, which is why people often pair it with ranch. Unfortunately, ranch is very fattening and filled with unhealthy ingredients. The dressing in this recipe is creamy, luscious, and boasts bold flavors that coat every nook and cranny of the florets. The dressing also plays a great companion to the crisp apple, tart blueberries, and sweet dried cranberries. A quick note about cranberries: make sure that you buy the ones that are free of sulfur and added sugars. Most dried cranberries contain copious amounts of sugar and preservatives, and you cannot enjoy those during your cleanse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may surprise you to see blueberries in this salad, but they pop with subtle tartness when you take a bite with other ingredients. Dried cranberries complement that tartness, while also offering a subdued sweetness. This salad really hits all the notes: crunchy, crispy, tangy, sweet, and chewy. We just hope you like it as much as we do. <\/p>\n
