A fresh and nourishing Crisp Broccoli Salad with Soft Dried Blackcurrants, made with whole ingredients like broccoli, quinoa, greens, and eggs. Finished with a creamy mustard dressing, this salad delivers the perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and natural sweetness.
Salad
2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 boiled eggs, sliced or chopped
½ cup shredded spinach
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
⅓ cup soft dried ViBERi blackcurrants
Creamy Mustard Dressing
⅓ cup good-quality mayonnaise (or Greek yoghurt for a lighter option)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1–2 tsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1–2 Tbsp water (if needed to loosen)
- Lightly steam the broccoli for 1–2 minutes if you prefer it slightly tender, or leave raw for extra crunch. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cooked quinoa, eggs, spinach, parsley, and soft dried ViBERi blackcurrants.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or yoghurt), Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup, and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, adding a little water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
Enjoy fresh, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
