Amish Broccoli Salad

This easy Amish broccoli salad recipe (complete with a creamy dressing) is a simple and delicious side dish that’s perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, and summer cookouts.

What Makes This Amish Broccoli Salad Recipe So Good

  • It’s great for reunions, holidays, potlucks, summer cookouts, or any time you just need to feed a lot of people. You can easily double or triple the recipe without much extra effort.
  • This recipe uses raw vegetables, so there’s absolutely no cooking involved! Just a little chopping, then some mixing, followed by some chilling – and that last step’s optional.
  • Any leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 4 days, which makes this a terrific make-ahead or meal prep option!

Key Ingredients for Amish Broccoli Salad

Bacon – A lot of people are in the “bacon doesn’t need to be in everything” camp, and I hear you! BUT, I promise, it really adds an extra layer of flavor in this salad! The savory bacon is especially delicious with the tangy and slightly sweet dressing.

Shredded Cheese – We’re using cheddar cheese in this recipe, but you can use any kind of shredded cheese you like! Cheddar jack and parmesan are both solid options that go well with the other flavors in this Amish broccoli salad. Feta and goat cheese would also be great!

Amish Broccoli Salad

Chef’s Tips

  • This recipe is fully customizable. If you like really creamy vegetables, feel free to add more mayo and sour cream. Likewise, you can cut back on the dressing ingredients and the raw veggies will shine through. Use any kind of cheese you like. Add nuts, seeds, raisins, bell pepper, or cranberries.
  • If you’re making this more than a few hours in advance, store the bacon separately from the rest of the salad and fold it in just before serving.
  • Not big on sour cream? Try the same amount of full-fat Greek yogurt instead. The flavor will be a little different but still great!
  • Use fresh broccoli and cauliflower – not frozen – to get the brightest flavors and the crispest textures. Frozen vegetables just won’t work the same.
  • As amazing as it is right away, Amish broccoli salad gets even better after a little time in the refrigerator. If you can, factor in 2 hours of chill time before serving, to let the veggies really soak up the dressing.

What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”

Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.

How to Make Oat Milk (At Home)

In need of a delicious oat milk recipe to make at home? This dairy-free recipe breaks it down for you in the most simple ways! This recipe is super stress-free and requires very minimal ingredients which are probably already in the pantry!

close up image of homemade oat milk

What You Need For This Oat Milk Recipe

  • A blender.
  • Sieve or cheesecloth.
  • Oats and water.
  • Salt.
  • Vanilla extract, cinnamon, and dates. (All optional)

Why is this recipe so great?!

This oat milk recipe is so great because of how easy and versatile it is! Forget the grocery stores, this creamy oat milk recipe is super easy to make within the comfort of your own home. What else? It requires hardly any work!

Oat milk is great for….

  • Coffee
  • Cereal or granola
  • Cooking variations

How To Make Oat Milk Step-By-Step

step by step photos for how to make oat milk with a blender and sieve
  1. Add oats to a medium sized bowl and cover with water. Let the oats soak in the water for about 15 minutes.
  2. Once the oats have finished soaking, discard water and strain the oats making sure to rinse them very well. This allows the oats to absorb water which makes blending them much easier.
  3. Put all ingredients in the blender. Cover with four cups of water and blend. Having a high-speed blender, like Vitamix, really helps, but is not necessary. You may just have to blend the ingredients much longer.
  4. Blend ingredients until really smooth. Add the remainder of water (from the eight cups) and blend again until super smooth and silky. This should create about eight cups.
  5. Once the oat milk has been blended, simply strain the mixture with a sieve or cheesecloth. Be sure to place a bowl or large container underneath one of the two to catch the milk!
  6. You may want to strain your milk more than once – depending on the type of consistency you prefer. Simply store oat milk in the refrigerator, and it will last for about a week! The container should have a top on it.

Tips For How To Make This Recipe

  • Definitely soak the oats!
  • Don’t know what to do with the leftover oat “pulp”? Throw it in the compost or use it for smoothies, baking cookies, or body scrubs.
  • Make sure you have something super fine to strain the milk. This will allow optimal consistency for the milk.

Is oat milk good for me?

Oats are loaded with all types of nutrients such as B vitamins and fiber. Know what else? Oats are GREAT to have if one is lactating! In addition to just being super cost-effective, making oat milk at home is better for the environment, too.

Brussels Sprouts Salad (Whole30, Paleo)

This salad filled with brussels sprouts, cranberries, and apples delivers the most beautiful amounts of crunchy fresh flavors! Evenly coated in a delicious and silky oil-based dressing, this salad is packed with the perfect balance of naturally sweet and tangy flavors.

close-up image of brussels sprouts salad with acv dressing

Why This Brussels Sprouts Salad Is SO Good!

  • This salad is sooo good because of the fresh and raw ingredients!
  • The perfect amount of sweet, yet savory flavors are compiled in this salad.
  • This brussels sprouts salad is non–dairy and perfect for the paleo or Whole30 diet.

Are brussels sprouts healthy?

Brussels sprouts are filled with all sorts of nutrition. Not only are brussels sprouts rich with antioxidants, but they are also high in fiber, vitamin K, and contain healthy omega-3s!

We really like this salad because it is also filled with apples, cranberries, and apple-cider vinegar which also have amazing benefits! Apples contain important antioxidants, flavonoids, and fiber! With cranberries that act as superfoods, this salad is really just jam-packed with all things nutritious and good.

Instructions For Brussels Sprouts Salad With Apples And Cranberries:

step-by-step photo of brussels sprouts salad with apple cider vinaigrette
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 204 degrees Celsius.
  2. Cut the ends off the brussels sprouts and cut each one in half. Cover the brussels sprouts with avocado oil. Once the oven has preheated, roast brussels sprouts on baking sheet on the top rack for about 30 minutes. Flip about halfway through for an even char.
  3. While the brussels are cooking, finely chop apple and mince the garlic. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the apples to prevent some discoloration. Set the apples aside in a medium bowl.
  4. For the vinaigrette, whisk together one and one half cups of olive oil, half a cup of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), two tablespoons of dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Transfer to serving jar. This dressing will separate, just give it a good shake!
  5. Once the brussels sprouts are finished cooking and are evenly browned, combine the roasted brussels sprouts with cranberries and apples in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together until evenly combined.
  6. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad until evenly coated. Serve warm or cold!

Chef’s Notes

  • If on Whole30, be sure to use a compliant dijon mustard that does not contain white wine.
  • We used dehydrated cranberries for this recipe.
  • Spruce things up by adding nuts or seeds to this salad!
  • The vinaigrette will definitely separate, but just give it a shake.

Will this salad be good if left in the refrigerator?

Yes, this salad is great as a leftovers recipe! Just store the brussels sprouts salad in an airtight container. In the fridge, the salad will be good for about three or four days.

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

These roasted potatoes are the best, and they are perfect for any meal! Salt, avocado oil, and rosemary create the most deliciously tasting potatoes, ever. Whole30 and vegetarian, this recipe is subtle, but extremely flavorful!

close up image of rosemary roasted potatoes on white plate with sauce.

What makes this Rosemary Roasted Potatoes recipe so easy?

There are quite a few reasons as to why this recipe is just, like, so simple.

  • All the ingredients needed are salt, pepper, fresh rosemary, a neutral oil, and the potatoes!
  • This recipe can literally be created in one bowl. That’s right. Mix it all together and enjoy the absence of additional dishes.
  • Stress-free. Simply mix the ingredients and transfer to the oven. That’s it!

Is this recipe healthy?

Hmm, yes! This recipe is *totally* healthy, and it is Whole30! We made a dipping sauce for this recipe, which is NOT Whole30. The potatoes? Oh, yes.

This recipe is healthy because it is utilizes fresh ingredients and everything is real. The ingestion of golden potatoes is a great way to gain some additional potassium and vitamin C. Avocado oil is extremely rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, such as oleic acid and lutein.

Instructions for Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

instructions on how to cook rosemary roasted potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Finely chop fresh rosemary and cut potatoes in quarters.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  4. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
  5. Bake potatoes for about an hour or until they have a nice “roasted” look. Flip potatoes twice while cooking.

Chef’s Tips

  • Unsure if the peels should be left on the potatoes? We left them on! Just wash the potatoes really well prior to making the recipe.
  • We used avocado oil for this recipe, but grapeseed could work, too.
  • Don’t have fresh rosemary? That’s okay, dried rosemary will work.

For the dipping sauce, we used our delicious Lemon Garlic Sauce which can be found here.
