Broccoli Peach Salad With Avocado And Sunflower Seeds Food

FAVORITE BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
• Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
• In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
• Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.

• In medium salad bowl add broccoli, and toss with rice vinegar.Add diced peaches, sunflower seeds, raisins and poppy seed dressing.
• You may cover and refrigerate if you wish.
• Just before serving, add the diced avocados with the lemon juice.
• This is a salad if which you can increase any of the ingredients you like.
• The longer it sits with the dressing, the flavor increases. If you prepare for a longer time to sit in the refrigerator,reduce the dressing. A little goes along way.
• Important: Always add the avocado at the last minutes before serving and toss to mix.
• This salad goes well with any grilled meat or fish.
