Ingredients

6 T extra virgin olive oil

6 T good quality mayo (preferably homemade)

3 T apple cider vinegar

1 T good Dijon mustard

2 tsp maple syrup (optional)

2 T fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 broccoli, finely chopped (1/2 cm pieces)

1/2 cauliflower, roasted at 200C for 30mins with olive oil, sea salt, sumac)

1/2 fennel bulb, finely chopped

1/4 green cabbage, finely shaved

Topping: Toasted sunflower seeds or tamari almonds

Method

In a good-sized mixing bowl, place olive oil, mayo, cider vinegar, maple syrup (if using), lemon juice and sea salt. Give a good whisk until thoroughly mixed. Add red onion and broccoli, giving a good mix (preferably with your hands) as the broccoli will begin to break down a little, and slightly marinate in the dressing. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and serve chilled.

This salad gets better with a little time so it is great to make ahead/early!
