Asian Broccoli Ginger Salad

Posted in Brunch, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Lunch, Salad, Uncategorized, Vegetables

This salad is a refreshing change from the traditional broccoli salad with mayo. I find it is closer to a slaw than a salad.

Dressing

1 small clove of garlic, minced
2 teas fresh ginger, grated
1 teas grainy dijon mustard
2 tbls honey
2 tbls braggs or tamari
1 teas fish sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teas pepper

Salad

2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 green onion, chopped into 1/2″ sections
1/4 cup peanuts
2 teas black or white sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well
In a large bowl combine the broccoli, carrots, cabbage and onions. Add dressing and toss well.
Heat a small fry pan and toast the peanuts and sesame seeds separately. Cool on plate and then sprinkle over the top of the salad.

Comments

If you find yourself in a bit of a rush try the bagged broccoli slaw in the produce section of your local supermarket. I also find there is enough dressing for two salads or double the Salad ingredients.
