Clean Broccoli Salad

This broccoli salad recipe is my favorite easy vegan cookout side dish! It’s delicious, healthy, naturally gluten-free, and topped with a light dairy-free yogurt dressing (contains no mayo and no refined sugar). Perfect for lunch, dinner or any time you need some vitamins in your life!

Best Vegan Broccoli Salad

broccoli florets (roughly chopped (see photos above))

red onion (finely chopped)

dried cranberries (or dried tart cherries

vegan cheese shreds (optional)

⅓ cup non-dairy yogurt (*see notes)

olive oil

tbsp lemon or lime juice (or apple cider vinegar)

tbsp dijon mustard (optional)

maple syrup (or to taste)

¼ tsp sea salt (or

¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional

mixed seeds (e.g. pepitas, sunflower seeds, toasted soy seeds)

nuts (e.g. cashews, almonds

Chop the broccoli florets into ½-inch pieces and any finely dice the remaining stems, peeling any woody or course parts from the stem as needed. Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cranberries, and vegan cheese (if using) to a serving bowl. Set aside.

To make the dressing, whisk together the non-dairy yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard (if using), maple syrup, and sea salt in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad, sprinkle with paprika powder as desired 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 overnight in the refrigerator).

Toast the seeds &amp; nuts (optional): Toast the seeds and nuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the seeds are turning golden, about 3 minutes (be careful as they burn quickly!). Then transfer the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl and set aside. (Alternatively, bake the seeds 10 minutes at 392°F/200°C or until golden brown).

Divide the salad into bowls and sprinkle the toasted nuts and seeds on top.

Enjoy!

Really enjoyed this salad. I’m eating vegan raw and this checked all the boxes and was delicious.

This is SO Delicious!  And so easy to make.  I use a quick mayo dressing from cashews which adds more delicious nutrition.  Adults &amp; kids alike love this recipe.  Thank you!

Love it. It is now a regular recipe for us.

Excellent! I made with storebought mayo this time because I didn't have ingredients to make the homemade mayo, but I plan to try that next time--happy to heave the healthier alternative. Also used ready-shredded coleslaw mix bc I didn't have fresh carrots, and it turned out great! I can't wait for a potluck to take this to. :)

This is something I make on the regular now as a salad on the side, or I bulk it up for a complete lunch by adding chickpeas and extra veggies. I think it would also be amazing bulked up with baked tofu or tempeh (trying this next!). I've already reviewed this salad, but I love it so much I had to come back and review it again. :)

This vegan broccoli salad is super easy to make and it has a delicious, creamy, oil-free dressing! It makes a great healthy salad for any meal.

Vegan Broccoli Salad

Vegan Broccoli Salad made with a delicious blend of broccoli, red grapes, toasted slivered almonds and a tangy, creamy dressing. It&#39;s perfectly crunchy, creamy, sweet, and savory and great for making ahead!

(55 grams) slivered or flaked almonds (,

(about 340 grams) red grapes

(150 grams) vegan mayonnaise (, see the FAQs

Dijon mustard

white wine vinegar (, or apple cider vinegar)

garlic (, finely grated/minced)

lemon juice

black pepper (, see recipe notes)

maple syrup (or 2 teaspoons white/cane sugar. (See recipe notes))

Warm a small pan over a medium heat and add the slivered almonds. Keep them moving around the pan for a 2 to 3 minutes until they smell really nutty and toasty and are turning golden. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Cut the broccoli into bite sized florets. Cut the stalks into thin matchsticks too if you don&#039;t want to waste them. Wash thoroughly and shake dry or use a salad spinner. Put in a large salad bowl.

Wash the grapes, dry them well and cut them all in half.

In a small bowl mix up the dressing ingredients until well combined and smooth.

Toss the dressing through the broccoli making sure to coat it all very well, then add the grapes and stir them through gently. Adding the grapes after the broccoli has been coated helps to keep them looking good and stop them from getting squashed.

Leave the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes so the broccoli can tenderize a little in the acidic dressing and so the flavors meld together.

Sprinkle over the toasted almonds just before serving.

Make dressing: mix soaked cashews, fresh water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, shallot, garlic, salt and dijon mustard in a high powered blender or processor until completely smooth.

Mix ingredients: combine broccoli, sunflower seeds, red onion, raisins and dressing. Toss until all ingredients are covered.

Serve: Serve immediately or let chill in the fridge a bit before serving.

Amazing !!! I am not vegan but having family over and some of our guests are vegan. I don't like raisins so I replace with cranberries. Looks great and tastes wonderful. My favourite from now on. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing a vegan alternative!It sounds delicious. Can't wait to try it!

Even though I had to make a few small changes, this salad was wonderful: crunchy, balanced, and satisfying. I had to replace the sunflower seeds with pepitas, and I soaked the cashews for just a few minutes before making the dressing in the botanic with a couple extra tbsp of water. I’ll make this again!

This salad was delicious!  I didn't have raisins but decided to add blueberries.We loved it. Thanks Brittany.

This salad is SO EASY and SO TASTY. It's wonderful to have a creamy salad option that doesn't rely on mayo or oils. I didn't have raisins or scallions, so I used dried cranberries and a little extra red onion in the sauce. I also made a little extra sauce and added some lentil pasta for a little punch of protein. The only struggle is not eating it all in one day!

Thank you for this great recipe! We’re celebrating a birthday today and a few guest are vegan. I doubled the recipe and it came out perfectly. I used golden raisins and also threw in some cranraisins and  pepitas. Everything else was the same as in the recipe. I hope they like it as much as I do!

Like you, I was raised with this delicious broccoli salad, loaded with sugar, bacon, and mayo. I asked my mom to make it often and I'd despaired of ever tasting it again, now that I eat vegan. Thanks for caring enough to make it healthy! I'm making it tonight, so excited! I love your recipes ♡♡♡

You might try soft silken tofu instead of the nuts, add the water by tablespoons, you may not need it all!
Good luck!

The most amazing vegan broccoli raisin salad made with a rich and creamy cashew dressing instead of mayo. This salad is a total crowd-pleaser and perfect for summer parties!

Raw Broccoli Raisin Salad

Broccoli goes from boring to bold in this vegan broccoli salad! This classic potluck dish is taken up a notch with a sweet and spicy dressing, roasted nuts, toasted breadcrumbs, and a winning combination of broccoli and fennel. The perfect side dish for BBQs, potlucks, parties, and more!

Really Good Vegan Broccoli Salad

fennel bulb,

flat-leaf parsley, (chopped)

extra virgin olive oil

(40 grams) panko breadcrumbs ((see note 2 for GF sub))

(70 grams) roasted almonds

maple syrup or agave nectar

shallot, (diced)

garlic cloves, (minced

lemon, (zested + 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice)

red pepper flakes ((optional,

¼ teaspoon kosher salt, (more to taste)

black pepper

(56 grams) extra virgin olive oil

Make the dressing. Add the fresno peppers, raisins and maple syrup to a small saucepan or small non-stick skillet. Bring to a simmer, and simmer at a decent simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  The mixture will froth and bubble as the chiles release their water. Add the shallots and simmer for 3 more minutes.Transfer the mixture to a glass jar and allow to cool slightly. Add in the minced garlic, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, mustard, red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, several cracks of pepper, and olive oil. Shake well to combine.Taste, adding more salt or pepper to taste, and 1 more tablespoon of lemon juice as desired. The dressing will be thick.NOTE: If you prefer a more heavily dressed salad, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil and 1 more tablespoon lemon juice, plus more salt and pepper to taste.

Prep the broccoli. Use a vegetable peeler to peel away the tough outer layer from the stalks, then roughly chop the stalks. Cut the crowns into large pieces. Add the broccoli stalks and stems only to your food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the stems are finely chopped. Scoop them out into a bowl. Now add the florets and pulse in short bursts (8 to 10 times) until the broccoli is finely chopped but not riced. It’s fine to have some variation in size, but if any large pieces remain, scoop them out and finely chop with a knife (or re-pulse separately in the food processor).

Prep the fennel. Slice off the fennel stalks and discard or freeze for stock. Pick off the wispy fronds and save for garnish. Remove any tough outer layer from the fennel bulb, then slice the bulb in half, lengthwise. Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, very thinly slice the bulb crosswise.

Toast the panko. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and allow to warm, about 1 minute. Add the panko bread crumbs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir frequently, especially once the panko starts to turn color, 3 to 5 minutes, until most of it is golden brown.

Assemble. Add the broccoli, fennel, and parsley to a large serving bowl. Pour in some of the dressing and toss. Add more dressing as desired and toss again. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add your panko crumbs and nuts and toss again. Enjoy.Note: If planning to keep leftovers, add the panko and nuts only to the amount of salad you plan to eat. Store the toasted panko in a jar in the pantry.

Flavor, flavor, flavor. This salad was delicious. sweet and spicy, earthy, perfectly balanced. I loved it. I like fenel, but didn't have any, so I used baby bok choy bulbs instead. It has a similar texture was a great sub. Fenel would have been great as well. Will definitely make again!

I have already made this twice - the second time, as an entrée for heavier meal.   It was the perfect entrée because it was refreshing and light and still had consistency enough to serve as an entrée standing on its own.  The combination of raw broccoli and fennel is surprisingly delicious and creative, which makes any meal it accompanies seem extra special - and it is easy to make.  (I am an inveterate proof reader, so would like to suggest the following change in step 4 of the instructions : "Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil [IN] a small skillet over medium heat and allow to warm, about 1 minute.")

I hadn't imagined that this broccoli-fennel salad could be THIS good !!! The salad dressing is outstanding, with the perfect combination of sweet/sour/spicy, and the freshness of the lemon zest and everything just blends perfectly (I used fresh basil instead of parsely, because that is what I had on hand -- perfect !).  So glad I discovered RPL !!!!!

I was hesitant to try this recipe as I do not care for raisins (dates &amp; dr cranberries are ok but raisins-nope).  But I love broccoli, fennel &amp; pistachios so I jumped in.  I was very happy with the results.  After a few bites, I sprinkled some non-dairy feta crumbles over the salad and it made this diner very happy.

Absolutely loved this recipe! The combination of ingredients is very original, for me a true rediscovery of fennel. I’ll definitely be making this again!

On paper this doesn't really sound good: broccoli in a very sweet sauce. But it's tasty!
I balanced the broccoli, because my family was very sceptical about the fact that it's a raw broccoli salad. Now that I know everyone liked the salad, next time I would try to use raw broccoli (makes the cooking process faster).
The nut-bread crunch is nice, but without the salad tasted fine too. I didn't use any spicy flavours and omitted the fresno peppers completely.

One of my favorite dishes! It’s my go-to for potlucks, and it always impresses. I typically double the salad part of the recipe and triple the dressing. I use gluten free panko and just leave off the nuts if I’m making it for a big group and don’t know of people’s allergies.

Are brocolli eaten raw in this and no blanching

Love this recipe 
Because I am not a fan of raisins I used dates as per one of your reviewers.  
Have made it 3 times and I will eventually know it off by heart.

A great recipe and so easy. Love how you use all the broccoli head. Subbed the fennel for carrot. Definitely a keeper.
