My whole family enjoyed this dish.  I especially enjoyed watching my 2 year old munch on a bunch of broccoli .

Ranch Dressing:

• 1 cup of raw cashews (soaked in filtered water for at least 3 hours)
• Juice from 1 1/2 lemons
• 1/3 cup of water
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold pressed olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of onion (I used a regular yellow onion)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp raw agave
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• A pinch sea salt
• A pinch of dill weed

Note: you may also use raw macadamia nuts instead of cashews.

Directions:

Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor or Vitamix until it is smooth.

Broccoli Salad:

• 4 cups of broccoli (chopped)
• 1/3 of a red onion (chopped)
• 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup of raisins
