Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli ~4 cups florets, leaves, and stalks
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ¼ cup fresh mint roughly chopped
For the dressing:
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1-2 tablespoon water more as needed for smoothness
- 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
Instructions
- Wash the broccoli. Slice off the stalks and pull/slice off the florets. Add the florets and leaves to a large mixing bowl. Use a swivel peeler or sharp knife to shave or dice the stalk (for a variety of shapes/textures). Add the stalk pieces, dried cherries, and roughly chopped mint to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, water, and garlic. If the dressing is not smooth, add water in tiny amounts until it gets to the consistency you want.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and mix until well coated. Enjoy!
