Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium head broccoli (about 1 pound, cut into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups))
  • 3 medium apples (I recommend gala, pink cripps, or fuji cored and cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1/2 small red onion (diced (about 1/3 cup))
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins (dried cranberries also work)
  • 1/4 cup candied sliced almonds (plain sliced almonds, unsalted pepitas, or unsalted sunflower seeds)

Directions

  1. 1

    First, make the dressing. Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the salad. Add the broccoli, apples, onion, and raisins to a large bowl and stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the top and stir gently until everything's coated with the dressing. At this point you can refrigerate the salad for several hours before serving.

  4. 4

    Just before serving, sprinkle the nuts or seeds over the top.
