— found in Food —

If you're following me on social media and have had a chance to read my most recent blog post, you probably already know that my third cookbook, The Joyous Cookbook, will be coming out this December 31st, 2019!!!

To say I am excited about this is a massive understatement. This cookbook is a true reflection of how my family and I eat and how I recommend others to eat; a variety of colourful, nourishing whole foods-based foods that are both good for you and taste delicious too!

If you're as excited as I am about this and can't wait for the official release of the cookbook, I have a little special something for you! Today, I'm sharing a recipe and video of how to make a recipe straight from The Joyous Cookbook – my Broccoli and Cranberry Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing!

This salad is SO yummy and fragrant. If you've been making my recipes for a while, you'll know I love to make use of fresh herbs. It's such a simple way to add a whole whack of flavour and nutrition at the same time and the dill in this recipe does just that!

This recipe is:

Gluten-Free
Grain-Free
Dairy-Free (if you choose to use coconut yogurt)
Vegetarian-Friendly
Detox-Friendly

And if you love this recipe, guess what? I've got 5 more delicious and nourishing recipes for you in my Free Recipe Preview Bundle that you'll get when you pre-order The Joyous Cookbook. That means, you'll be one of the first to get recipes like my Cauliflower Hummus, Seafood Soup and Dark Chocolate Superfood Bark (OMG! It's SO good!).

In this video, I'll be showing you step-by-step how to make this Broccoli and Cranberry Salad. By the way, if you enjoy watching videos of me creating joyous recipes, please let me know! I really do enjoy making them for you, but it's important that you are loving them too!

Hi Joy, Can we be your favourite dried cranberry? We make dried cranberries with 40% less sugar than standard brands, and they are available across Canada. I would love to chat via email.

How many servings is this recipe and how many net carbs per serving?

It serves 4 but I don't know how many net carbs. I would stick the info into a fitness app like my fitnesspal or or something and you can likely quickly calculate it. Enjoy, this salad is super yummy!
