Apple Broccoli Crunch Bowl

Apple Broccoli Crunch Bowl Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Bowl

2 medium heads broccoli (about 4 cups when chopped)

3 apples of your choice, diced right before you add them to the salad (I use Gala)

¼ cup diced red onion

½ cup raisins

½ cup sunflower seed kernels

¼ cup raw shelled hempseed

Dressing

¼ cup cider vinegar

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon maple syrup (you can use up to 2 tablespoons)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1Bowl

2Cut the florets from the broccoli stalks and set the stalks aside. Cut the florets into very small pieces. Place in a large bowl.

3Cut the hard outer skin off the broccoli stalks to get down to the tender inside. Discard the outer skin. Cut the inside stems into matchsticks. (Or you can use a mandolin or food processor that has an attachment that will cut the stems into long strips—not grated. Scissors work too.) The idea is to have very small sticks of raw broccoli stems that will hold their shape. Add to the large bowl along with the florets. Add the apples, onions, raisins, sunflower seeds, and hempseed.

4Dressing

5Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. Chill until ready to serve.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
