Summary

Crunchy fresh broccoli is tossed in a bright, tangy-sweet vinaigrette of mustard, balsamic, and maple, with pops of tart cranberry and aromatic garlic. Finished with a nutty or seedy sprinkle for irresistible texture and balance.

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium container with a lid, whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.

  2. 2

    Add the broccoli florets, sliced green onions, and dried cranberries. Close the lid and shake well to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 2 hours), shaking the container periodically to redistribute the dressing.

  4. 4

    To serve, top with pistachios, walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.

  5. 5

    Optional: Fold in additional veggies or fruit such as radish, red cabbage, carrot matchsticks, cucumber, fresh green peas, or green apple.
