Ingredients

Healthy Broccoli Salad

8 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces (600 grams)
1/2 cup diced red onion (65 grams)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard Dressing

1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
salt, to taste

Instructions

Make the honey mustard. In a jar or measuring cup, add the avocado oil, djion, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
Make the broccoli salad. In a large bowl, add the broccoli, red onion, raisins, sunflower seeds, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Pour over the honey mustard dressing and toss to combine and broccoli is evenly coated.
Enjoy! Place in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together (I recommend doing this) or eat right away.
