Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Trim the broccoli heads, remove their feet, and cut each floret into small pieces. You should get 4 cups of small raw broccoli florets. Set them aside in a large salad bowl.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the drained, canned chickpea, and fry for 1 minute. Then, sprinkle spices: smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook the chickpeas over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant. They won't get very crispy. Scroll up in the post for the oven-roasted method to make crunchy chickpeas. Remove the chickpeas from the heat. Set aside in a bowl.
- In the same skillet, add sunflower seeds and finely chopped pecans. Stir and fry for 1 minute or just until fragrant.
- To assemble the salad, add the tiny broccoli pieces onto a large serving bowl, top with diced red onion, diced tomatoes, dried cranberries, toasted pecans and seeds, and crispy chickpeas.
- Serve with tahini lemon sauce.
Tahini lemon dressing
- Add all the dressing ingredients into a tall glass mason jar, close the lid, shake vigorously until combined. Store for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Para la ensalada necesitas:
- Floretes de brócoli – Remove the broccoli feet and cut the broccoli florets into small tiny pieces.

- Semillas de girasol or pumpkin seeds.
- Arándanos secos – or dried raising.
For the roasted chickpeas, you will need:
- Garbanzos enlatados – One can of drained, rinsed chickpeas. You can also soak raw chickpeas and cook following your packaging instructions if you like.
- Olive oil or Avocado Oil to roast the chickpeas in a frying pan.
- Pimenton ahumado or regular paprika powder if you can’t find the smoked version.

- tahini – It’s sesame paste!
- Jarabe de arce – or any other liquid sweetener like coconut sugar or agave syrup.
- Jugo de limon or apple cider vinegar – Any acidic ingredient like this works.
- Mostaza de Dijon – or American mustard for a milder taste.

I love this recipe as a light lunch or side for a summer BBQ table. It also tastes great, wrapped in coconut flour flatbread, Pan plano de 2 ingredientes o Tortillas de espinacas to make a fresh, crunchy veggie wrap. You can also add my Aderezo de miso y tahini on top of the salad; it’s delicious! You can serve this salad on the side of my Albóndigas de tempeh, Albóndigas de proteína vegetal texturizada o Coliflor Buffalo en freidora de aire.
Substitutions And Swaps
This vegan broccoli salad is versatile, and you can swap and substitute many ingredients to make it more appropriate to your taste or diet. For example, you can swap:
- Tomates – Swap for grated carrots, grated beetroots, or chopped red bell pepper.
- Garbanzos – Slice mushrooms thinly and stir fry. This is a great option for making a low-carb keto vegan broccoli salad.
- Nueces y semillas – Any kind of nuts and seeds taste amazing in this salad, including sliced almonds, walnuts, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
- tahini – If you don’t like the slightly bitter taste of tahini, swap for almond butter or peanut butter. Both options make a tasty vegan salad dressing that goes well with broccoli and packs the salad with proteins.

Made this broccoli salad. Tastes amazing. Didn’t have pecans so used cashews. Still awesome
Gracias !!
This is hands down, THE BEST broccoli salad I have ever tasted! I make it oil free leaving out the olive oil when I cook the chick peas. ( I use aqua fava from the can instead). My whole family loves this salad so much, I’ve been preparing it every weekend. What a great way to eat more raw broccoli!
I have had a salad similar to this, and i have made all kinds of substitutions and they we’re all great tasting
