Raw Broccoli Salad with Walnuts and Chili Infused Dressing

Raw Broccoli Salad with Lemon Juice, Chili Flakes, Olive Oil and Walnuts

While raw broccoli helps fight diseases like diabetes and cancer, it’s also a delicious vegetable to incorporate into your repertoire. I wanted to make a dish that highlighted the broccoli and that really tasted good!

Further Food Commentary:

Boiling or steaming broccoli can cause essential vitamins B and C, which are water soluble, to leach out into the water, leaving less in the vegetable. It also reduces the body’s ability to access sulforaphane, a potent cancer-fighting compound that makes it such a superfood. Chewing raw broccoli releases glucosinolates, another cancer-fighter. Broccoli, in any form, is high in vitamin K, which the fat from olive oil and walnuts helps the body absorb better.

If you have an under-active thyroid, it’s important to note that raw crucifers, like broccoli, can lower the body’s ability to produce thyroid hormones, so be mindful of how much you’re consuming.
