Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 red apple, diced (I use Pink Lady)

  • 1 medium stalk celery, diced

  • 2 ounces (55 grams) roasted hazelnuts, chopped, for garnish

Broccoli

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

Quinoa

  • 1/4 of a lemon, scrubbed, with the peel

Creamy Cashew Dressing

  • pinch salt

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Prepare the Broccoli

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

2.

Rinse broccoli with cold water and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

3.

Lay broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, shuffling halfway through.

Prepare the Quinoa

1.

Place the quinoa, water, and lemon in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.

2.

Remove from heat but keep the lid on for 10 minutes.

3.

Discard the lemon and fluff quinoa with a fork.

Prepare the Dressing

1.

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.

To Assemble

1.

Transfer broccoli to a large bowl. Add the quinoa, apple, and celery and mix.

To Serve

1.

Pour dressing over the salad and toss. Garnish with chopped hazelnuts. Salad can be prepared a day in advance.

Notes:

To make your own cashew cream, place 3/4 cup roasted cashews, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, one and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, one tablespoon lemon zest (optional), 1/4 cup water, and salt, to taste, in a bowl. Place the bowl in a large bag to avoid a mess. Puree with an immersion blender, scraping down the sides. Use the leftovers for smearing on crackers, bread, or even fish!

For a dairy version, omit the cashew cream and use sour cream or full-fat yogurt instead. You might want to add a little honey.
