Why You’ll Love It
The broccoli base makes this salad more substantial than those made with a base of leafy greens. Perfect for hard workout days or even just days when you feel like you need a little more oomf.
Broccoli is in my opinion, THE most underrated and under-appreciated “superfood” out there today. It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants; specifically Vitamin C, vitamin K and calcium. Little known fact, which I wish more people knew; one cup of broccoli has as much vitamin C as an orange! Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function, so this is a great recipe to reply on across the board but also and especially anytime the immune system might be more susceptible to stress, like before and after travel.
The spicy cashews provide healthy fats, protein, and metabolism-boosting spice.
Not only is this dish incredibly satisfying and tasty, but it’s also a great way to get some serious benefits.
