Here is Mike’s fantastic creation.  It is definitely my favorite way to eat raw broccoli!

Sauce:

• ¼ cup raw, unsalted cashews (can be found at SuperStore in the bulk section)
• 1 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg’s organic)
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp raw agave nectar
• 2 tsp red curry paste (can be found in the Ethnic aisle at SuperStore)
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Salad:

• 1 cup chopped brocolli
• 1 large carrot
• 2 T or more Sunflower Seeds or other seeds for some crunch
• Fine Yam ‘noodles’ work great as a garnish.

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. If you like the curry flavor, but not the heat, try substituting a yellow curry for a portion instead of red curry paste.

This is a fairly small recipe–double or triple it if you are feeding a group.

This salad works as a main dish if you serve it with some flatbread crackers.

Many of the salad recipes online aren’t salads in my opinion – they’re piles of vegetables with a dressing. Cut your vegetables into small pieces so that it’s easy to get a variety of them in each bite. Otherwise, it’s a bite of broccoli with a bit of sauce, and then a bite of carrots with a little sauce etc.
