    • 2 TBS honey
    • 2 TBS olive oil
    • 1 TBS sesame oil
    • 1 TBS coconut aminos

What to do:

  • Bring  pot of water to a boil
  • While waiting for the water to boil, roast your cashews in a small skillet over a low flame constantly stirring until they turn a little bit brown. Be careful not to burn your cashews!!
  • Once water is boiling, make an ice bath for your broccoli by filling a large bowl with ice and water
  • Place broccoli florets in the boiling water for about 1.5 minutes
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and place into the ice bath
  • Blend all of the dressing ingredients together until smooth
  • Once the broccoli is cooled, drain and pat dry and place into a serving bowl and mix in the dressing
  • Top with the roasted cashews and enjoy!
