If you love eating broccoli but want to change things up a bit, this broccoli salad with sour cream dressing is for you! I love serving this salad as a side with chicken or beef.

Notes

*Mustard Seed Powder is optional but recommended.

Mustard seed powder is naturally rich in myrosinase and boosts the bioavailability of sulforaphane in your body when combined with cruciferous vegetables like broccoli.

Sulforaphane is a powerful antioxidant that is anti-inflammatory, and linked to detoxification.
