I know what you are thinking….broccoli salad?? I am basically taking the two most hated words for anyone resistant to healthy eating, broccoli and salad, and putting them together in one dish.

It turns out that all you need is a handful of other ingredients to turn a boring broccoli salad into a flavour packed salad even the pickiest eaters will enjoy.

Easy Broccoli Salad Recipe With Homemade Sweet Orange Dressing

The first step to making a good paleo broccoli salad is blanching the broccoli. This quick and easy step maintains the vibrant colour and slightly crisp texture, while making the florets more flavourful and easier to digest.

Just a few simple ingredients including chopped bacon, sunflower seeds, red onion and shredded carrot really up the flavour and texture of the salad. Although the broccoli is a fantastic base for the salad, it’s the addition of all of the other ingredients that keep you going back for bite after bite.

I find that creamy dressings can either be delicious and highly addicting, or thick and gross. By thinning out the mayonnaise base with orange juice and vinegar, it remains creamy, without being sickly rich. I really like the sweetness that orange juice and zest bring to this Paleo Broccoli Salad.

Unlike a lot of other salads, leftovers are absolutely delicious! The broccoli florets soak up some of the dressing making them even more flavourful.
