A vibrant and nutritious vegan salad featuring steamed broccoli, shredded Brussels sprouts, and sweet clementine segments, all tossed in a creamy, tangy tahini dressing with citrus and turmeric notes. Perfect as a light meal or a refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

Vegetables and Fruit

  • 4-5 cups chopped broccoli crowns
  • 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
  • 3 clementines, segmented

Dressing

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 3 tablespoons tahini (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Water, as needed to thin dressing

Instructions

  1. Steam broccoli: Steam the chopped broccoli crowns for approximately 5 to 6 minutes until they become slightly tender while still retaining a crunchy texture.
  2. Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, add the steamed broccoli, shredded Brussels sprouts, and clementine segments. Toss these ingredients together to evenly mix.
  3. Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, tahini, tamari, pure maple syrup, turmeric, and extra virgin olive oil. Adjust thickness by adding more tahini for creaminess or a little water to thin as preferred.
  4. Toss salad with dressing: Pour the prepared tahini dressing over the salad, using as much or as little as desired. Mix thoroughly to ensure the salad ingredients are coated well.

Notes

  • Steaming broccoli just until tender-crisp preserves maximum nutrients and crunch.
  • Adjust tahini in dressing to control creaminess and add water if a thinner consistency is preferred.
  • Tamari is a gluten-free soy sauce alternative; regular soy sauce can be used if not gluten-sensitive.
  • Use fresh clementines for natural sweetness and bright flavor; oranges can be substituted if unavailable.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
