Ingredients

  • 1 broccoli head
  • ½ red onion
  • ¼ red cabbage
  • ½ cup roasted almonds
  • 20 small dates, pitted this is approx 10-15 Medjool dates

Salad Dressing

  • 1 cup homemade vegan mayonnaise refer to blog notes for 30 second, 4 ingredient recipe
  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar can also use white vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup tahini runny tahini works best
  • ¼ cup date syrup

Instructions

  • Wash the broccoli head and remove any rough pieces. Note that we are using the whole stalk so you don't want to remove too much. Usually the only part that requires removing is a small slither off the end of the stalk. The rest you want to keep!
  • Slice the broccoli into large florets.

  • Slice each floret into thin long pieces. Keep the broccoli heads on. Make sure any chunky pieces of the stems are sliced thinly. Some pieces will be stem only or broccoli head only, this is okay. Add all of the sliced broccoli to a large bowl.

  • Slice the red cabbage lengthways and chop in half once. This is to achieve long skinny red cabbage pieces (refer to photo).
  • Remove the pits from the dates and slice into tiny pieces
  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and pour salad dressing on top. Toss until well combined with the salad dressing.
