Ingredients
- 3 large carrots
- 3 stalks celery
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ small head purple cabbage
- 1 small purple onion
- 1 bunch curly kale
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
Sunflower Dressing
- ½ cup tahini***
- 2 Tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons tamari
- ¼ cup water
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Veggies: peel carrots, scrub celery, take middle core out of cabbage, peel onion, de-stem kale. Roughly chop each vegetable into large chunks to be put in the food processor.
- Using the "S" blade in your food processor, pulse each veggie separately until uniformly chopped and then transfer to a large bowl. There is no need to clean out the bowl in between.
- MAKE THE DRESSING: place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. If still too thick to pour, add additional water, 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired thickness. Taste for seasoning and add in S+P if needed.
- Toss desired amount of salad with dressing until fully mixed and then top with sunflower seeds.
- Store remaining chopped salad in container with tight fitting lid for up to 1 week. Store dressing in air tight container for up to 2 weeks. Shake vigorously or re-whisk dressing before using.
Notes
TAHINI: For sesame allergies, use sunbutter or any nut butter that can be tolerated.
When chopping the broccoli, chop off the stems and pulse a few times before adding in the tops, so you don't have to completely pulverize the tops in order for the stems to get fully chopped.
MEAL PREP: Chop salad ingredients, store unmixed until ready to eat. Make dressing and store separately.
Salad already mixed with dressing will stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days.
