I like this recipe for the way it delivers big flavors with very little effort!

I can throw the salad together then let it sit in the fridge while I work on other dishes to go with it. Vegan Italian Sausage Burgers and Sloppy Joe sandwiches are some of our favorites!

Ingredients for Broccoli Salad

  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup vegan sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons Vegan Ranch Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegan cheddar cheese, shredded

Ingredient Notes:

Broccoli: Fresh is best! For this recipe, fresh broccoli provides the satisfying texture and crunch that you just can’t get with frozen broccoli.

Ranch Seasoning: I like to use my own homemade ranch seasoning simply because the pre-packaged blends tend to contain dairy-based ingredients.

How to Make Broccoli Salad

STEP ONE: For the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste and stir in the red onion.

STEP TWO: In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli and ranch dressing until broccoli is evenly coated. Stir in the cheddar cheese.

STEP THREE: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours), then serve chilled.

Storage

This broccoli salad should be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Freezing is not recommended.

    Yum! The first time I had broccoli salad was when I worked at Whole Foods in high school. Love that this one is completely plant based and delicious!
