Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1 Cup Raw cashews, soaked in water overnight (140g)
- 6 Tbsp Water
- 2 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice, (don't use from the bottle)
- Zest 1 whole medium lemon
- 1 1/4 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Fresh garlic, minced
- 3/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 3/4 tsp Dried basil
- 3/4 tsp Dried thyme
- Pinch of pepper
For the salad:
- 5 Cups Broccoli, chopped into bite-sized florets
- 1 1/2 Cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 Cup Pitted Kalamata olives, halved
- 6 Tbsp Red onion, diced
- 1 Large cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Drain the water from the cashews and place them into a high-powered food processor. Add in all the remaining dressing ingredients and start the blender on the lowest speed, slowly increasing the speed into it's at the highest speed.
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This will take a good 2-4 minutes and you'll need to stop and scrape down the sides every so often.
- Add all of the salad ingredients into a very large bowl. Add in the dressing and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at LEAST 1 hour (this helps the broccoli absorb all the flavor) or up to overnight.
- Once chilled, taste and add and salt and pepper if needed. Then, DEVOUR.
