Ingredients
  • Dressing (makes about 1 cup)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp dried sweetened cranberries, plumped up in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes, then drained
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, more to taste
  • 6 Tbsp vegetable oil (or canola, peanut, or rice bran oil)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • Salad
  • 4 cups peeled and grated broccoli stalks (from about 6 stalks of broccoli, or you may be able to buy already grated, packaged)*
  • 2 cups grated carrots (from 4 to 6 carrots)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (Napa cabbage, green, or red cabbage)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • ½ cup sweetened dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon (or more to taste) of Kosher salt
Instructions
  1. *If using freshly broccoli stalks, cut them away from the broccoli crowns. Peel the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Either use the grater blade of a food processor or the large holes of a box grater to grate the broccoli stalks.
  2. Make the dressing. Put the balsamic and red wine vinegars, plumped dried cranberries, mustard, honey, garlic, orange juice, orange zest, and salt into a blender or a mini food processor and pulse until puréed smooth. Slowly add the vegetable oil, while pulsing or blending, to form a good emulsion. Then add the mayonnaise and pulse until blended.
  3. Place grated broccoli stalks, carrots, cabbage, the onions, dried cranberries, orange zest, and Kosher salt into a bowl. Add the dressing and toss to combine, until the dressing is evenly distributed.
  4. You can make several hours ahead of time before serving.
