Marinated Broccoli Salad

3 heads of broccoli cut into small florettes
1/4 C minced red onion
1/2 red pepper, chopped

Marinade:
1/2 C olive oil
1/4 C lemon juice
1 tsp sea salt
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/8-1/4 C hemp seeds, slivered almonds, or white sesame seeds

Soak the broccoli in hot water while you make the marinade, then drain. Put everything except the seeds in a container with a lid and marinate for 4-6 hours or over night. During this time I shake the container a few times (whenever I think about it) so that everything is well coated in the marinade. Toss with the seeds or almonds just before serving.

Broccoli is high in nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin A, folic acid, and fiber. Broccoli is an important calcium source for those who don't consume dairy products.
