Raw Chopped Veggie Salad Recipe

• Servings: 4

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 0 minutes

• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets

• 1 bell pepper, roughly chopped

• 1 apple, cored and roughly chopped

• 2 tablespoons pine nuts (no need to chop these)

• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Prepare the broccoli, bell pepper, and apple by cutting them into pieces that will fit easily into the food processor.

2. Chop in the Food Processor: Using the pulse function, chop the broccoli, bell pepper, and apple in batches to avoid overcrowding. Pulse each batch until they are finely chopped but not pureed.

3. Toast the Pine Nuts: While the chopping is done by the processor, quickly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, shaking the pan often to prevent burning.

4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper.

5. Combine & Dress: Transfer the chopped vegetables and apple to a large salad bowl, add the toasted pine nuts, and pour over the dressing. Toss everything together until well mixed.

6. Chill & Serve: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together nicely.
