1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
6 pieces bacon, cut into small pieces
1 cup homemade mayonnaise or Sir Kensington’s
2 tablespoons light honey (I prefer clover)
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup soaked and dehydrated sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (I used a combination of both)
Celtic sea salt
Instructions
Place the onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside. Place raisins and orange juice in a small pot and bring to a simmer. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add broccoli and cook for about 2 minutes until bright green. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In now-empty pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from pot and cool.
Whisk mayonnaise, honey and vinegar in a small bowl. Drain the onions. Place onions, carrots, seeds, broccoli, bacon and raisins in a large salad bowl. Top with mayo dressing and toss. Season to taste with sea salt.
