Vegan Apple Broccoli Salad has everyone's favorite vegetables and fruits with a slightly sweet and tangy dressing. #Appetizers #vegetarianappetizers #cold

I never met an apple I didn’t like. Especially fresh off a tree. We were lucky enough to live down the street from Apple Hill in Placerville, California.

Roll on it’s just cut side and repeat the cut. Do this for the whole stem and you’re left with the tender inside the stem.

Total time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients :

• 4 cups broccoli cut up and shredded (about 2 medium heads)
• 3 apples of your choice, diced right before you add them to the salad, I used Gala
• 1/4 cup onion red, diced
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds shelled
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup you could use up to 2 tablespoons
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions :

• Wash broccoli under running water. Cut the florets from the stalks and set the stalks aside.
• Cut the florets into very small pieces. See the photo for a visual. Place in a large bowl.
• Cut the hard outer skin off of the stems to get down to the tender inside. Discard the outer peelings.
• Cut the tender inside stems into matchsticks. Or if you have a mandolin that would work well too. If your food processor has an attachment that will cut the stems into long strips (not grated) then that would work also. Scissors work too. The idea is to have very small sticks of raw broccoli stems. They will hold their shape.
• Add to the large bowl along with the florets. Add the apples, red onion, raisins and sunflower seeds.
