Magic Broccoli and Carrot Salad



Magic Carrot and Broccoli Salad
Yield: Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli, florets only, chopped3 large carrots, grated (peeled or not, your choice)
1 cup shredded red cabbage
2 green onions, sliced
1 red apple, peel on, cored and diced
1 cup sliced green olives
1/2 cup raw hazelnuts, toasted chopped
1/2 cup organic raisins
For the vinaigrette
1 cup paleo mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp fresh ginger root, grated
1 tbsp salted herbs (or use more salt)
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

*

Directions:
Prep all the fruits and vegetables as specified in the list of ingredients and throw them into a large mixing bowl, along with the olives, raisins and hazelnuts. Set aside.

Make the salad dressing: place all the ingredients into a mason type jar and give it a good shake; Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.

You can serve your salad immediately but it would greatly benefit from sitting a couple of hours in the fridge to allow flavors to meld.

This salad will keep miraculously well for up to a week (and more) in an airtight container.
