Ingredients

Base:

2 heads of broccoli
1/4 cup red onion
2 tbsp hemp hearts
2 tbsp sprouted pumpkin seeds
4 pieces of bacon

Dressing:

1/2 cup Primal Kitchen Foods mayo
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup raisins
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2- 1 tbsp maple syrup (taste the dressing - if you need a little sweet this is all you need and is way less sugar than the original recipe)

Directions

Combine mayo, white wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper in a bowl to create your dressing mixture.
Next, heat your bacon strips in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
While your bacon cooks, finely chop your broccoli and dice your onions. Place into a large salad bowl.
Place diced onions into ice water to dilute the strong taste before adding them into the dressing mixture. Then add the onions and 1/4 cup raisins to the dressing.
Once the bacon is ready, chop it into small pieces. Add chopped bacon, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds to the salad bowl. Drizzle with dressing.
Throw in one final chop at the end, and you’re ready to go!
