This clean eating raw Asian broccoli salad makes a very filling and nutritious meal!
I’ve been meaning to do a salad like this for a very long time. But for some reason, it was just one of those recipes that always intimidated me. I didn’t think I could get the flavors just right (for my liking, anyway). Asian flavors have always been a little tough for me. So many of them include the use of sugar and items that I don’t usually buy. But I finally found a way, and I think you’re going to love this one!
Even though I’ve loosened up just a bit on the Paleo-style eating plan, this one fits the guidelines nicely. It’s gluten-free, vegetarian, and meat-eaters can always add chicken for a nicely balanced meal. This salad is a great way to get a big serving of veggies in for the day. And we all know how important those veggies are!

You are reading my mind. I just talked to my husband last night about a slaw recipe. I had seen one that had a Vidalia vinegrette in the store that was being sampled. It wasn’t clean so I thought I should try to make it myself. This is a start on the Asian side.

This sounds delicious! A nice healthy alternative to steamed broccoli everyday! I think I might toss in some almond slivers too. 🙂

I know you are saying equal parts but are we talking tablespoons, 1/4 cup, 1/2 c? Just to give me an idea?
Reply
Depends on how big you want your salad. For 1 person, you’d probably be fine with 1/2 cup of each.

I found that using an equal portion of soy sauce makes it too salty. If you’re using soy sauce, use half of a portion and add a little bit extra in until you get the flavor you want, otherwise the salty soy flavor masks the rest of the flavors a bit too much.
Also, consider adding a dash of ginger. It was quite nice 🙂

Ashley – Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

Do you recommend using a mandolin?

Jen – Anything that makes the job easier gets my vote! I just didn’t own one at the time.
