Sunflower seeds and broccoli go amazingly well together. So when I saw this recipe on the Taste of Home Website, I realized this particular recipe would be great with Backyard Patch Herb Mixes, so I tied it out.
Broccoli Sunflower Salad
2 quarts water
6 cups fresh broccoli florets
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
Sugar substitute equivalent to 1 tablespoon sugar (Like Spenda sugar blend)
1 Tbls Backyard Patch Herbal Spread Herb Mix or Backyard Patch Herb Cheese Dip Herb Mix
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower kernels
Directions
In a large kettle, bring water to a boil. Add broccoli; cover and cook
for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place broccoli in ice water. Drain and pat
dry.
In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, soy sauce, oil and sugar
substitute. Pour over broccoli; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at
least 1 hour, stirring several times. Just before serving, stir in sunflower
kernels. Yield: 6 servings.
