Make a plant-based version of broccoli salad with vegan mayonnaise and cranberries! This vegan broccoli salad tastes just like the non-vegan version. It is addictively delicious. A tasty and healthy summer side dish. Great for parties and potlucks!
I've never been so obsessed with a broccoli recipe! My oil-free roasted broccoli and cauliflower recipe is an absolute staple in my house, and it's one of my all-time favorite recipes. BUT this broccoli salad is straight up addicting.
And being addicted to vegetables? That's the best kind of addiction.
Step 1. Make the coconut bacon. Let cool slightly.
Step 2. Make the vegan mayonnaise.
Step 3. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, onion, cranberries, sunflower seeds, coconut bacon, vegan mayonnaise, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Broccoli salad can be served immediately, for best flavor refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors blend.
This slaw makes a great side dish. Serve alongside your favorite protein-packed meals, like:
If you don't want to make your own mayo (but seriously, why wouldn't you want to make a healthy mayo that tastes just like regular mayo?!) I recommend Chosen Foods which is an avocado oil based mayo.
I recommend serving this salad immediately to optimize freshness.
If you have leftovers, place them in an air tight container and store in the fridge. The salad will last up to a week.
Broccoli is pretty hardy, but if you want to optimize freshness you can sprinkle some lemon juice on the salad - the acid helps keep the ingredients from going bad.
Personally, I love when cranberries or raisins soak up some moisture and get nice and plump, but you can also wait to stir in the dried fruit until right before you eat.
Thank you for healthy summer recipes that are perfect for sharing nutrients with our friends and family. Amen.
