I roast broccoli like it’s my job- that’s been done to death. But dear goodness is it GOOD. Sautéed I like too… But let’s be honest, there are summer days where turning on your oven and stove top are not only not tolerable but quite possibly a fire hazard. So…raw it is! Not to mention raw greens are never a bad idea, in fact they’re what you should always find ways of incorporating into your daily meals.
This raw curried broccoli salad with sweet grapes and crunchy walnuts is my easy answer to all of the above and it’s also a crowd pleaser for picnics and BBQs. No mayo, no bacon, no dairy- it’s squeaky clean and easy to make. I so hope you enjoy it!
For that reason our vegan broccoli salad suddenly becomes attractive to any vegetarian (or vegan) who doesn’t want to skip the chance of grabbing a few more grams of proteins when they eat their veggies (me, for example). I mean we all want to make our gym efforts count, don’t we?!
