Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Filtered water
  • 2 cups Chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup Chopped pickles
  • 1/4 cup Fresh dill finely chopped
Dressing
  • ¾ cup Sour cream
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise (made with avocado oil)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Mustard seed powder *Optional

Method
 

  1. Add 1 cup water and chopped broccoli to a large skillet, and bring to a boil. Cover the lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes. (Broccoli should be slightly crunchy)
  2. Chop pickles and dill and place onto a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and mustard seed powder (if using) and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Drain the gently steamed broccoli and add it to the large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the sour cream dressing all over the vegetables and stir until well combined.
  6. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

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.
