Toast the crunchy topping

Mix the almonds and seeds with the tamari, maple syrup, and smoked paprika and toast on a baking sheet until fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes.

Combine and rest

Cool the crunchy topping and fold it into the salad. Let the dressed broccoli sit briefly before serving so it softens just a little.

Frequently asked

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of mayo?+

Half mayo, half yogurt keeps the creaminess with a little tang and less richness.

No cranberries?+

Chopped dried cherries or raisins do the same sweet job.

Why toast the nuts instead of using them raw?+

The tamari glaze only sticks and smokes properly in the oven \u2014 raw almonds taste like a different, blander salad.
