Ever since I tried a yummy sample at Trader Joe's, I have been wanting to try something like this. Considering almonds are one of the bests nuts you can eat and broccoli is one of the best veggies, they are a super combo!
It's more of a summery dish, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying this broccoli slaw all day!
Roasted Almond Broccoli Salad
4 c fresh broccoli
1 c roasted almonds
1/4 c extra virgin olive or canola oil
1/4 c raisins, unsweetened (or dried cranberries)
1 apple
In a food processor, pulse all ingredients for just a quick minute or so, and enjoy!
Notes
- This salad becomes more flavorful the longer it sits.
- This becomes an easy and complete meal, and tastes delicious, when combined with some brown rice (this combination grain is awesome!) and some garbanzo beans.
- If you aren't craving a cold salad, this dish is tasty warm.
