✔ Broccoli provides a powerhouse of vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and antioxidants that support immune health and reduce inflammation.
✔ Red onion adds quercetin, a powerful antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties and heart health benefits.
✔ Greek style cheese (or feta) delivers calcium, protein, and probiotics that support bone health and gut health, making this salad both satisfying and nourishing.
✔ Sundried tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant that supports skin health and may help lower the risk of certain cancers.
✔ Dried cranberries bring a touch of natural sweetness and are a good source of antioxidants and phytonutrients that support urinary tract health.

Utensils Used:
- Saladmaster Food Processor (cones #2, #3, #4)
- Optional: Saladmaster Double-Walled Salad Bowl
Ingredients:
- 1 head broccoli
- 1 small red onion
- 1 jar (approx. 200g) Castello Greek Style Cheese, crumbled (or substitute with feta, cut into small cubes)
- ½ jar (about 100g) sundried tomato strips, chopped into small pieces
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons roasted pine nuts (may be substituted with whatever nuts you have on hand)
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- Thai Style Salad Dressing (I recommend Mae Ploy Thai Style Salad Dressing)
Method:
- Using your Saladmaster food processor, chop the broccoli with cone #4 for perfect small florets. Chop the red onion finely with cone #2.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped broccoli, red onion, sundried tomatoes, and cranberries.
- Crumble the Greek style cheese over the salad or use small cubes of feta if you prefer a slightly saltier, creamier taste.
- Sprinkle roasted pine nuts and sunflower seeds over the top. For a twist, swap in chopped walnuts (use cone #3 on your Saladmaster processor).
- Drizzle the Thai Style Salad Dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients.
