Ingredients

Broccoli Florets

4 cups broccoli florets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 avocado chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red onion chopped
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

Creamy Avocado Basil Dressing

3/4 cup water
1/2 medium avocado chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
1/4 cup basil leaves packed
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil and salt. Place the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the dressing. In a high speed blender, add all the dressing ingredients and process until smooth.
When the broccoli is finished roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add the avocado, onion, and sunflower seeds. Stir in dressing to coat, and serve immediately.
