Broccoli Madness - Raw version?

SweetToothSweetTooth
in Food Preparation

I LOOOOOVE this salad but the original recipe calls for bacon & mayo(shown below).

I managed to make it vegan using vegan-bacon bits & tofu-mayo.

Now I'm trying to convert this into "raw version" but don't know what I should use to substitute these 2 ingredients. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

1 bunch uncooked broccoli, cut into florets

1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon

1/2 cup cashews

1/3 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Mix the broccoli, bacon, cashews, raisins and onions in a large bowl. In a second bowl, beat dressing ingredients together gently until smooth.

About 10 minutes before serving, toss the salad with the dressing to allow flavors to meld. Serve on chilled salad dishes.

    Someone has already posted this raw version on here - so your saved :) It's amazing! I never had the non-raw version with raisins or cashews, but everything else was the same. If you can do a search for Broccoli Salad i think it's in here - it uses sunflower seeds as the base. It is really good and everyone i serve it to loves it! Even my parents - who are against me being raw! If i could get into my recipe box, i'd send you the link, but i can't get in yet :( I hope this info helps!

    This is a wonderful raw version of the traditional broccoli salad with bacon and cheddar.

    Someone else deserves the credit for this recipe, but I can

    Try these two recipes:

    Broccoli Salad: http://goneraw.com/node/616

    Bac-un: http://goneraw.com/node/935

    I have tried both of these recipes and they are yum. There is also a recipe for vegan velveeta that I haven't tried. Search on that if you are interested.

    Bon Appetit.

    I couldn't think of using cashews for dressing.

    This is GREAT!

    Thank you so much!!!!

    Here's the one I make - the orange in the dressing is fantastic!! We just can't get ENOUGH of this darned salad, absolutely love it:

    Broccoli Salad - posted by BDraw

    Chop broccoli (small, medium, your choice) 400g

    Chop or grate carrots (or use chopped apples instead) ~ 200g

    Chop little onion (your choice of color) ~75g

    Add equal amounts of raisins and sunflower seed (or preferred nut)

    1 cup each

    Mix well, using roughly twice the amount of broccoli as carrot or apple.

    For dressing I blend (in blender) one peeled orange, about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of honey. Pour over, let sit for a bit, overnight is fine, but then, so is 15 minutes.

    * 2T agave & 1T honey

    We love this and if I use enough seeds or nuts, I call it dinner at least one night a week.

    You could also add celery, cauliflower, etc. Hope you like
