Crunchy Broccoli Salad Recipe | Dairy-Free + 7 Ingredients!

Wash and chop the broccoli, carrot, and red onion. Separate the broccoli florets from the stems. Chop the heads into small, bite-sized pieces, then peel the stems and finely dice them.

Add the vegan mayo and apple cider vinegar to the base of a large bowl, then mix well. Toss in the broccoli, carrots, and red onion, then mix until all pieces are evenly coated in the dressing. Fold in the sunflower seeds and dried cranberries, then add any additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

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. :)
