Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • 1 cup raw cashews (140g) soaked in water overnight
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 whole medium lemon
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

  • 5 cups broccoli chopped into bite-sized florets
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives halved
  • 6 tablespoons red onion diced
  • 1 large cucumber halved and thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Drain the water from the cashews, and place them in a high-powered food processor. Add all the remaining dressing ingredients and process on the lowest speed, then slowly increase the speed until it is at its highest.  
  • Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This will take a good 2 to 4 minutes, and you'll need to stop and scrape down the sides frequently.
  • Add all the salad ingredients into a very large bowl. Add the dressing and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this helps the broccoli absorb all the flavor) or overnight.
  • Once chilled, taste and add extra salt and pepper if needed.
