BROCCOLI SALAD
It is easy to understand why broccoli salad is a mainstay of potluck dinners and community gatherings. Not only is it a crowd-pleaser, but also raw broccoli is a clever make-ahead ingredient because it maintains its hardy texture and crunch over time. (This Southern-inspired recipe can be made up to 24 hours ahead, then stored in the fridge.) While most traditional Southern broccoli salads feature a creamy mayonnaise dressing and are finished with bacon bits and grated cheese, this vegan riff offers a punchy vinegar mixture that serves as a quick pickling liquid for the onions and raisins before it's used as the final dressing. If you are making this salad in advance, leave the toasted almonds out until you are ready to eat.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Place raisins and red onion in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of water, and toss to combine. Leave to pickle for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Peel the woody exterior from the broccoli stalks and discard. Chop the stalks into ½-inch pieces. Chop the broccoli florets into ½-inch pieces. (The pieces do not have to be uniform or the same shape.) Place all the broccoli into a large mixing bowl.
- After 10 minutes, finish the dressing by adding the olive oil and sesame oil to the bowl with the pickling raisins and red onion, and stir well to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. It should be tangy, slightly sweet and a little salty.
- Add the raisin-and-onion dressing to the broccoli along with the apple and scallions. Using two large spoons, toss well so that everything is well coated. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Taste to make sure you are happy with the seasonings, adding more if needed.
- When you are ready to eat, add the almonds and grapes (if using), and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.
QUICK RAW BROCCOLI SALAD
We all know raw broccoli is super healthy, but it is hard to eat a lot "straight up", and in salads it can be woody and not matching leaves in texture. This recipe is a quick answer for serving it edibly. The ingredient qty below serves one; if increasing for more people, don't increase the powerful tastes like rosemary in direct proportion, just having them in there in a tiny amount is fine. As presentation is considered irrelevant here, it is more of an "eat now" not "serve" salad.

Steps:
- Chop the broccoli and tomato and put in the bowl. Don't worry about the broccoli fragmenting into lots of tiny bits and bits of stalk, it will all mix in fine.
- Add the salt, pepper, and lemon juice directly on top.
- Dollop the mayonnaise on top and add the chives, rosemary, and mint so they mix with the mayonnaise first.
- Stir all together.
- Pour over the oil and vinegar (stir together first if making more than 1 portion of this recipe).
Tips:
- For a more vibrant salad, use rainbow broccoli, which features florets in various shades of green, purple, and yellow.
- Experiment with different nuts and seeds for added texture and flavor. Try walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, or hemp seeds.
- Add a pop of sweetness with dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or cherries.
- If you prefer a creamier dressing, use full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of nonfat yogurt.
- For a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or rice vinegar to the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This quick and easy raw broccoli salad is a refreshing and nutritious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With its vibrant colors, crunchy texture, and tangy dressing, it's sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic. Experiment with different variations to find your favorite combination of flavors and textures.
