- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 stalks fresh broccoli, chopped into bite-size pieces1 Green bell pepper, chopped into bite-size pieces1 Yellow bell pepper, chopped1 Red bell pepper, chopped1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped1 cup Craisins1 cup sunflower seeds, hulled and un-salted1 bag (2 cups) frozen shelled edamame4 Tbsp fat free ranch dressing4 Tbsp fat free italian dressing
Chop all vegetables (except edamame) into bite-size pieces. The peppers can be done in a processor, but the broccoli should be done by hand. The heat in the jalapeno can be removed by cutting out the vein.
Thaw the edamame in hot water for several minutes.
Combine all the vegetables, Craisins, and sunflower seeds in a bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss well.
This is a very filling salad, great texture, and makes a great lunch by itself, especially with added deli meat. If you're making the salad ahead of time, omit the dressings, as the veggies will get soggy when stored. Instead, separate the vegetables into servings and store in the refrigerator. The dressing can be added to individual servings as they are ready to be eaten.
Lots of flexibility with this recipie, to your taste. Try experimenting with different dressings, adding almonds or other nuts, or even different dried fruits. Enjoy!
