 Fresh Broccoli & Spinach Salad Fresh Broccoli & Spinach Salad
I decided we needed more green with our lunch the other day. Here is our brainstorm Broccoli & Spinach salad that was really tasty.
Take about 3 cups of fresh spinach, wash well and cut up for salad.
Take 1 head of broccoli (about 2-3 c. chopped up) and dunk the whole head into boiling water for 30 seconds. Then plunge itinto cold water. This blanching will give just a little tenderness and releases more beta-carotene. Chop broccoli into florettes and add to spinach.
Add a couple of chopped green onions, 1/4 c. chopped green or black olives and 1 chopped Roma tomato.
For the dressing take about 1/4 soy mayonnaise and stir in:
juice of one lemon
1/2 t. organic cane crystals
1/4 t. basil
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/2 t. salt
Taste, it may need a little more sweetener. Or you could use one of the dressings from Vegan Homestyle. Just before serving toss the salad with the dressing and top with a handful of toasted chopped walnuts. Delicious. With some crusty whole grain bread, it could be a meal.
blessings,
Kay Hansen
