Chopped Broccoli Salad {With Tahini Soy Dressing}

• 1 head fresh Broccoli coarsely chopped. Keep a few inches of stem on.
• 1 large Carrot, peeled, diced small
• 1 cup Red Cabbage, diced small
• 1 Avocado, diced small & tossed with a splash of Lemon Juice to prevent browning
• Pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Mustard Seed
• Pinch Garlic Powder
• Pinch Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced Dried Onion
• Handful chopped fresh Cilantro (reserve some for garnish)

1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli, reduce heat to medium high and blanch for 2-3 minutes (depending on how much crunch you want.) Immediately drain the broccoli and submerge it in ice water to halt cooking.
3. Remove broccoli from ice water and chop into small bite sized pieces.
4. In a small bowl whisk together tahini, soy sauce, mustard seed, garlic powder, black pepper and ginger.
5. Toss the veggies (excluding avocado) together with dressing. Add minced dried onion and avocado, toss gently and combine thoroughly.
6. This salad is lightly dressed. Feel free to add more Soy & Tahini if you want more flavor. Enjoy!!
