This is one of my favorite dishes. It is super easy to make and very delicious. Crisp broccoli meats creamy sweet sauce. It is absolute heaven.
This salad pairs with anything. It is crisp from the broccoli with crunch from the walnuts. It has sweet bits of raisins and goji berries and a delectable creamy orange sauce. This salad will please everyone. It is travel-friendly and keeps very well in the fridge. You can make this overnight to allow the flavors to develop even more.
INGREDIENTS:
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups blanched broccoli
1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt
2 tbsp vegan mayo
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 carrot, shredded
1/4 cup goji berries
1/4 cup raisins
1 small red onion or 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced and blanched
DIRECTIONS:
- Bring water in a large pot to a boil. Add the broccoli and the onion. Let cook about 1 minute. Just to get the broccoli a bright green color and to get the raw flavor from the onion out. Pour into a large bowl of ice water to shock the vegetables and lock in the bright color and crispness.
- In a large bowl combine the yogurt, mayo, coconut oil, zest, and juice of the orange and whisk together until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Add more if needed.
- Add the carrots, goji berries, raisins, onion, and the broccoli and toss to coat well. Cover with a lid and let sit refrigerated for about 1 to 2 hours or overnight before serving.
When ready to serve toss again and spoon into a serving bowl and serve. You can omit the mayo if you are not a fan of it, and you can also omit the coconut oil. It will still be just as delicious.

Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us.
I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious.
I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel.
Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place.
I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon.
Sam
