Ingredients:

  • 450g fresh broccoli, cut into tiny florets
  • 1 large English cucumber (approx. 340g), diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Wash the broccoli and cucumber. Dry them well so the dressing doesn't get watered down.
  2. Chop the broccoli into tiny, pea sized florets. Note: Avoid large chunks as they stay too tough.
  3. Dice the cucumber into uniform cubes. Keep them roughly the same size as the broccoli.
  4. Combine the broccoli, cucumber, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Whisk the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  6. Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Fold gently with a spatula until every piece is coated.
  7. Fold in the sunflower seeds last. Note: This keeps the seeds from getting soggy.
  8. Let the salad rest for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to integrate before you serve.
