How To Make Broccoli Salad?

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil. Place the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. You can also make frozen Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli.

While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the dressing. In a high-speed blender, add all the dressing ingredients and process until smooth.

When the broccoli is finished roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it into a large bowl. Add the avocado, onion, and sunflower seeds. Stir in dressing to coat and serve immediately.

Note: You can also steam broccoli florets instead of roasting. Wash florets and add to a pot of boiling water, cook for 2-3 minutes until tender, drain and submerge in an ice bath to stop the cooking processing then proceed with the recipe.
