Broccoli Salad with Sunflower Seeds & Cranberries is a lightened up version of a classic American recipe.

This lightened up broccoli salad is easy to make with only a few ingredients. You don't even need to turn on your stove! (Vegan and gluten free)

Broccoli salad is traditionally very fattening with tons of mayonnaise and bacon. In my opinion, it kind of defeats the purpose of eating broccoli!

But this version contains only a few ingredients. And you don’t even need to turn on the stove!

I like to serve this Broccoli Salad with Sunflower Seeds & Cranberries as a side dish or combine it with a couple of other salads.

Some of my favorites are Tropical Chickpea Salad and Rainbow Confetti Quinoa Salad. In addition, it’s great with a simple fruit salad.

Combining a few salads makes a complete lunch, which I like to pack in a stainless steel Bento Box for taking on the go.

Moreover, you can make a double batch of Broccoli Salad for a crowd or to bring to a potluck.

This vegan curried chicken salad brings back memories of the chicken salad my mom used to make with curry powder, grapes, and celery. Learn more by visiting www.veggiessavetheday.com, or pin and save for later!

  10. I love a good veggie filled salad, and this totally fits the bill! Broccoli is so tasty and so good for you, this is the perfect way to present it. Maybe I’ll make this for Thanksgiving dinner (I’m trying to make it a bit healthier this year).

  16. This looks so good—I love that you dressed a summer salad up for fall! And I love broccoli salad because it keeps so well in the fridge. I need to up my veggie intake—gotta make some of this and have it for lunch every day!
