Before I went Paleo, pretty much the only way you could get me to eat broccoli was to drench it in ranch dressing or cheese. But “getting healthy” opened my eyes to a whole new world of vegetable dishes. And I do mean world.
What’s kept me going on the autoimmune protocol for the past few years has been my passion for adapting ethnic dishes from all over the globe – or better yet, finding ones that don’t need to be adapted! – to keep things interesting. This particular broccoli salad, served raw and cold, is an adaptation of a Moroccan recipe using tomatoes, peppers, and cream. My version adds carrots and coconut and gets just a hint of heat from ginger.
- 1 small head of broccoli, chopped
- ½ cup carrots, shredded
- ⅓ cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp chopped green onion
- ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Thanks for the recipe! I love these kinds of ingredients. Quick question: when you ask for coconut cream are you asking for only the thick stuff from the can or the whole thing (water included)? Thanks!
Yes, the thick stuff that forms when a can is refrigerated. 🙂
Looks delicious! What do you serve this with? Or do you have it on its own as a meal?
Thanks.
I love it with fish or chicken!

I see a lot of recipes that call for coconut cream. I want to be sure I know where that is coming from? you pulling the cream off the top of coconut milk? Please advise. Thank you!
Great recipe! I did not have coconut cream or green onion on hand. I substituted greater amounts of oil & ACV, and used finely chopped Vidalia onion instead. Let it sit for an hour stirring every 15 minutes and it was delicious.
