Broccoli Salad

I made this last night for dinner!

I used dried goji berries in place of the sunflower seeds.

They came out looking a little like bacon bits.

Add a bit more water and it becomes an amazing salad dressing. My husband has requested it for lunch again today.

This was one of the dishes I brought to a SAD Thanksgiving meal and everyone loved it. Folks were asking what was in the sauce to make it taste so good! This is a great dish to impress those who've never heard of eating raw foods :-)

This is great!!! We added cranberries and some chopped dates instead of rasins. This will be part of our TXH meal.

This is soooo goood and so easy. I have a dish to bring to thanksgiving now.

I just made this and it's an A! My husband thought it was fabulous and wanted more!

I dehydrated the broccoli for about 3 hours on 105 degrees first. I used 1/4 cup of onions in the salad and another 1/4 cup of onions in the dressing (blended up nicely and added a lovely flavor. I also used pine nuts in lieu of cashews (soaked for a few hours) I used a bit over a cup. YUM!!! Thanks for posting this!!!

Thank you so much for this recipe Crisyn!!!! I am very new to raw.. and I'm the only one in my house doing it....so when everyone was eating this up...I felt like slapping hands...LOL.

I love this recipe, it is so yummy. I wish I had this as a kid, it would have made me eat more broccoli!!!

Actually we are using the Hallelujah Diet as the basis for our diet overhaul. :) I see a friend of mine from another board joined this site as well....welcome "Kozina"!!

Mothergoose9, so sorry about your husband's diagnosis but I agree with you to try a natural approach first. Have you checked out the Hallelujah Diet? hacres.com. They recommend 85% raw but mainly because they think most people wouldn't be able to go the drastic 100% raw (I think that's the reason.) Anyway...they have lots of testimonies on their website from people who have overcome all sorts of cancers using this diet. I've read that you should be careful about eating too much fat..even if it's from raw seeds, nuts or avacados or "good" oils, etc. Best of luck on your diet. Oh, if you aren't familiar with Dr. Douglas Graham, you might check him out also. Would love to hear from you again.

My husband has just been diagnosed with chondrosarcoma....a malignant growth in his trachea. The doctors want to perform a total laryngectomy...removing voice box, thyroid gland and he would permanently have to breathe through a hole in the base of his neck. So we have 'goneraw' to see if we can't change this picture. We will reassess in 3 months...this is my very first raw food recipe (other than the usual salads) and it is going right into the 'keeper' file!!! We had it for supper and enjoyd it immensely!! Thanks!!

I didn't care for the texture of the sunflower seeds just put into the bowl, so I processed them with the rest of the dressing with about a cup of water instead of just the 1/4 cup. This worked fantasticaly! It made the salad more creamy,

Thanks for the great recipe.

OMG! I thought you guys were exaggerating about how it tastes like bacon... but it really does!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE RECIPE NOW!

Mmm, I also added some mustard greens MMM!!!

Ok, I'll stop!

sooooooooo yummy! i used pine nuts and sundried tomatoes, because i didn't have cashews or raisins. deeeeeeeeeeeeeelish!!

WOW! I have never had bacon/cheddar broccoli salad, so I don't know what this is supposed to imitate, but it was delicious!!! Especially the dressing!!! I will use the dressing for other salads. I made the broccoli salad w/o raisins, and it's really great --- it's so good, it tastes like dessert. :)

By the way, I left out the onions 'cause I didn't have any. It's still awesome though.

Wow, this is good! I have to admit I was quite skeptical at first. I typically don't mix vegetables with sweets, but there was so much hype I just had to try it. And I love it! You've officially saved the broccoli in my fridge!

This recipe is da bomb". I was looking for something new for the sake of broccoli and this is it.This is excellent! You are a life saver! This makes it alot easier to stay raw.

I made this for me and my husband and we LOVED it! He said the dressing tasted somewhat like cesear dressing. So many things you could do with the dressing.

Thanks for sharing!

I tried this for dinner today and loved it! (I didn't really expect to because my broccoli salads have always tasted bitter before) Thank you so much for posting the recipe!

No freakin' way! This tastes EXACTLY like the SAD version my mom makes that I LOVE. I am so impressed what you can do with cashews. Who knew?

I will google it eventually, but what are mycotoxins?

I love broccoli and this recipe is going to be my favorite! I don't know how I lived without this recipe!

If you want a RAW NACHO CHEESE sauce(in my RAW IN TEN MINUTES raw organic recipe book available for only $13 on Amazon.com) you can change the sauce by using Pine Nuts(Cashews has the highest MYCOTOXINS I don't know why all the RAW people are using it!) with white mellow Hawaiian Cold Mountain Brand Organic miso, tumeric, olive oil and a little water blend until smooth, play with the tumeric/miso portion or use my recipe from the book and it is like a RAW Organic Cheddar Cheese sauce! For the "bacon" this is also from my book, marinate Dulse in olive oil it will become crispy like bacon, looks and tastes like it too! Enjoy, Bryan Au.

WOW!!!!! People down under love it!!!!

I put this salad together yesterday and all guests loved the taste.

Mind you, I cheated a little and substituted the Onion with Spring Onion.

Chef son of mine tells me it needs refinement to uplift presentation.

So... I have challenged him to assist modify this scrumptious concoction.

Shall post the finished product soon as we are happy.

By the way... Shove the mix between 2 slices of high quality fibre bread. Makes the taste buds work....
