Summer Broccoli Salad

Hi Friends,
I love sharing healthy and delicious recipes with you and todays recipe is one of my favorite summer salads to make.  My recipe is a fun twist on a broccoli salad (except without the unhealthy mayo!)  This makes a deliciously light side dish for a summer barbecue or can be a tasty lunch by itself.  

I also appreciate this broccoli salad because it is packed with iron, something I'm always looking to keep naturally boosted and high in my system.

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of raw broccoli chopped small
• 4 stocks of celery chopped
• 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup of raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped purple onion
• 1 lemon
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 2 Tbs Coconut or Olive Oil

Directions:

• Add chopped broccoli, celery, and purple onion to bowl.  
• Mix in sunflower seeds, raisins, coconut or olive oil and garlic salt
• Squeeze juice of lemon over salad and mix
•  For a little extra lemon kick I love to put 1 tsp of the fresh lemon zest into the salad too! (I love lemon!)
• Chill for about an hour in fridge so the broccoli soaks up all the delicious flavors
• Eat and Enjoy!
