YIELD: 6 SERVINGS

Here’s a bowl that’s filled with everyone’s favorite vegetables and fruits.

Simply throw all the ingredients into a bowl and then pour on the slightly sweet and tangy dressing. Toss and eat!

INGREDIENTS:

Bowl

• 2 medium heads broccoli (about 4 cups when chopped) 3 apples of your choice, diced right before you add them to the salad (I use Gala)
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• ½ cup raisins
• ½ cup sunflower seed kernels
• ¼ cup raw shelled hempseed

Dressing

• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (you can use up to 2 tablespoons) ½ teaspoon
• salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

Bowl

1. Cut the florets from the broccoli stalks and set the stalks aside. Cut the florets into very small pieces. Place in a large bowl.

2. Cut the hard outer skin off the broccoli stalks to get down to the tender inside.

Discard the outer skin. Cut the inside stems into matchsticks. (Or you can use a mandolin or food processor that has an attachment that wil cut the stems into long strips—not grated. Scissors work too.) The idea is to have very small sticks of raw broccoli stems that will hold their shape. Add to the large bowl along with the florets.

Add the apples, onions, raisins, sunflower seeds, and hempseed.

Dressing

3. Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. Chil until ready to serve.
