Cooking Instructions

Place the broccoli crowns and peeled stems in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade and pulse in 2 batches until small bite-sized pieces remain. Set aside in a big bowl.

Fit the food processor with the grater attachment and grate the Carrots (1 1/2 cups) . Set aside with the broccoli.

Add the Red Grapes (5 cups) and Roasted Pepitas (1/2 cup) and toss together.

Rinse the bowl and place it back on the base with the chopping blade for the dressing. Peel the Avocados (2) and remove the pit. Place them in the food processor, add the juice from Lemons (1 1/4) and Sea Salt (2 tsp) , and process until mostly smooth.

Toss the dressing with the salad and serve. Salad can be refrigerated for a few hours.

Author's Notes

To make this recipe completely raw, leave the pumpkin seeds un-toasted.

When grapes are really expensive, try using diced-up apples instead. They don’t keep as well as grapes, so be sure to add them right before serving.
