  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/4 tablespoon soy sauce or Bragg's liquid aminos
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pure cane sugar or sweetener of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

For the Salad:

  • 5 cups fresh broccoli florets gently packed
  • 2 cups sliced Cucumber
  • 1/4 cup diced green onion
  • 2-3 tablespoons minced red onion

Instructions

  • Make your dressing first.

For the Dressing:

  • Place all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving with your salad.

For the Salad:

  • Rinse broccoli with water and remove any tough stems to form bite-sized broccoli florets. Gently pack these into cup measurements--for 5 cups total. Place broccoli florets in medium mixing bowl. Now add sliced cucumber, green onion, red onion, sesame seeds, and sliced alond to mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  • Now add salad dressing to your broccoli salad--as much or as little as you like. Toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle a few sesame seeds, almonds, and green onions on top for garnish, if desired, and serve chilled.
