From the combination of healthy fats and fiber-rich ingredients like medjool dates, broccoli, and sugar snap peas, this plant-powered salad is full of yummy textures and flavors that will *actually* keep you satisfied. It's tossed in a toasted cumin CBD vinaigrette, made with [**Cannaves Oliva Hemp-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil**](https://cannavesoliva.com/product/hemp-olive-oil/)sweetened naturally with [Joolies date syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup). 

 

We love using [Cannaves Oliva](https://cannavesoliva.com/product/hemp-olive-oil/) as a higher-grade finishing oil to add supplemental flavor & holistic benefits to our diet like this vinaigrette! We know hemp can be a taboo topic and fully believe that each individual should educate themselves before jumping in head first. [Cannaves Oliva](https://cannavesoliva.com/product/hemp-olive-oil/) contains organic full-spectrum hemp oil and is *non-psychoactive.* You can check out more about this amazing minority woman owned and operated business [here](https://cannavesoliva.com/oliva/). 

 

## Benefits of this salad:

- naturally vegan, gluten-free, and grain-free.
- no added sugars, but naturally sweetened with medjool dates. 
- easy, natural way to incorporate hemp extract (CBD) into your diet.
- perfect salad to add to your meal prep or compliment to a main dish. 
- Quick healthy meal that uses everyday, nutritious ingredients.

## Ingredients for the dressing: 

1. 1. [**Cannaves Oliva Hemp-Infused Olive Oil**](https://cannavesoliva.com/product/hemp-olive-oil/) 
            - Organic, Greek, extra-virgin olive oil infused with organic, single source, full-spectrum hemp extract that doubles as a healthy fat source for our dressing and provides the delicious benefits of hemp.
     2. **Lemon Juice** 
            - Fresh is best! You'll get more flavor and zest from a freshly squeezed lemon. Plus, lemons are a great source of vitamin C and help to increase nutrient absorption. 
     3. **Tahini** 
            - This nut-free butter made from sesame seeds serves as the base of the dressing, making it nice and creamy. 
     4. [Joolies Date Syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup)  
            - The only *natural *sweetener needed to balance out the other salty + bitter ingredients. Plus you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form.
     5. **Cumin Seeds** 
            - Typically this small seed is used in ground form, but we'll be toasting this whole small seed to intensify it's flavor. Just be sure not to burn them!  
     6. **Sea salt + pepper** 
            - This enhances the other flavors we've got going on! 

## Ingredients for the salad: 

1. 1. **Broccoli** 
            - We can't have a broccoli salad without the broccoli! Raw broccoli can be a bit pungent, so we're going to slightly cook it in the oven.
     2. [**Joolies Dates**](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-pack-of-two-whole-12oz-bags) 
            - Even though dates are typically used in sweet dishes, they are an amazing addition to salads. It adds a sweet, caramel flavor to the rich spices of the recipe.
     3. **Sugar Snap Peas** 
            - This non-starchy fresh veggie adds a delicious crunch and natural sweetness. Sugar snap peas are a [great source of Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. ](https://www.verywellfit.com/sugar-snap-peas-nutrition-facts-calories-and-health-benefits-4119891)
     4. **Watermelon Radish**  
            - This crisp veggie adds beautiful color, a bit of natural crunch to our salad. Compared to regular radishes, this has a milder peppery, sweet flavor. 
     5. **Shallots**  
            - If you're not familiar with shallots, think smaller onions with a milder flavor (they won't make you cry!) and hints of garlic. 
     6. **Hazelnuts** 
            - This nut is [rich in nutrients](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/hazelnut-benefits#TOC_TITLE_HDR_4), with a high content of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. For a substitution, we recommend replacing with almonds, brazil nuts, or pecans.   

## Optional Add-ins:

1. 1.  **Fresh vegetables and/or fruit** 
            - Shredded carrots, chopped apples, purple cabbage, fresh avocado are just a few of our favorite salad additions!
     2. **Extra proteins** 
            - For a bit more plant-based protein, add in quinoa, edamame, or more beans. [Here's a list of good plant-based proteins](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/protein-for-vegans-vegetarians). Chicken or bacon are some good non plant-based options for this salad. 
     3. **More nuts/seeds** 
            - Sunflower seeds, pistachios, cashews, pine nuts, whatever fits your fancy! These are a good source of healthy fats.
