Broccoli Salad with Creamy Basil Dressing (Kid Approved!)
2 cups chopped raw broccoli florets
1 medium tomato chopped
1 green onion, sliced
Dressing
1 tbl mild vinegar (I used raw coconut)
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup unsweetened soymik
1/2 cup water
1 tbl granulated onion
1 tbl nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tbl ground sun dried tomatoes
2 tbl chopped fresh basil
few dashes tabasco
fresh ground pepper
Combine broccoli, tomatoes, and green onion in bowl. Add dressing ingredients to blender (except basil) and blend until smooth. Pour dressing over vegetables. Divide into 2 servings and serve over fresh greens.
NOTE: I briefly heated this for my daughter in the microwave. Also, she had some low fat seitan sausage and raw fresh corn mixed into hers.
