Pomegranate Avocado and Pine Nut Roasted Broccoli Salad

Feb.posted by Paula 2 Comments

Pomegranate Avocado and Pine Nut Roasted Broccoli Salad packs a flavorful punch. One bite and this salad will be your new favorite.

Seriously. This salad has so much flavor. It’s fresh and bright from the lemon dressing. And, it’s super nutritious!

Pomegranate Avocado and Pine Nut Roasted Broccoli Salad packs a flavorful punch. One bite and this salad will be your new favorite.



Pomegranate Avocado and Pine Nut Roasted Broccoli Salad

The only broccoli salad I’ve had is heavy with mayo and bacon. Broccoli is so healthy, but broccoli salad paired with mayonnaise and bacon does not make a healthy recipe. I chose a bright, fresh lemon vinaigrette dressing instead of a heavy mayo-based dressing. This dressing is tart brings out the best flavors in all the other ingredients.

The base for my salad is roasted broccoli instead of traditional lettuce. My first thought was to use broccoli raw but I adore roasted broccoli and cauliflower. If you prefer, you can use raw broccoli, but try roasting it just once to see how you like it.

Broccoli is a very good source of dietary fiber, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, choline, vitamin B1, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), potassium and copper. It is also a good source of vitamin B1, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, calcium, iron, niacin and selenium.

IT’S HEALTHY!

Along with the broccoli, I roasted a handful of pine nuts. Pine nuts are actually edible seeds to pine trees.

  1. Pine nuts may help with weight loss because they contain pinolenic acid, which triggers the release of an appetite-suppressing hormone.
  2. Additionally, pine nuts are a good source of magnesium, which may help boost energy and fight fatigue.
  3. Finally, pine nuts contain anti-aging antioxidants and nutrients that support heart and vision health

Additionally, I tossed in a handful of Pomegranate arils for sweetness and color. Pomegranates have anti-oxidant, anti-viral, and anti-tumor properties. Also, they are said to be a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin A, C, and E, as well as folic acid. This amazing fruit consists of three times as many antioxidants as both wine or green tea!

Finally, I crumbled feta cheese is for extra protein. Goat cheese could be substituted as well.
