Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1–1/2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

Nuts & Seeds

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup organic raisins

Vinaigrette

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chop the Ingredients: Either finely chop all the vegetables and herbs using a sharp knife or pulse them individually a few times in a food processor until finely chopped for a consistent texture.
  2. Combine Salad Ingredients: Place all chopped vegetables, parsley, almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins into a large mixing bowl and gently toss to combine evenly.
  3. Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a mason jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, clover honey, and sea salt. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until well blended. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl until emulsified.
  4. Toss Salad with Vinaigrette: Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. For best flavor, refrigerate the dressed salad for up to an hour before serving so the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh, organic vegetables where possible to maximize flavor and nutritional value.
  • Adjust the amount of honey in the vinaigrette to taste for a sweeter or tangier dressing.
  • For added protein, consider topping the salad with grilled chicken or chickpeas (if not vegan).
  • To make this salad gluten-free, ensure all processed ingredients like sunflower seeds and raisins are certified gluten-free.
  • This salad keeps well for up to 2 days refrigerated but is freshest when eaten the same day.
