Broccoli and Apple Salad

I came up with this Broccoli and Apple Salad recipe because I hate salad. There. I said it. I’m vegan and I hate salad. Look, I don’t mean to get defensive about it, but for some reason, every time people find out I’m vegan, they automatically assume that my entire diet consists of wilted pieces of lettuce and bitter kale….? Like, no. Don’t get me wrong, I love kale, but only under the right circumstances, and that’s usually not in a salad.

So, on a typical Korean dining table, you do not see salad. Salad is, generally speaking, is not for people who spend most of their time trying to figure out how to preserve vegetables. Hence, all the lovely fermented pickled dishes you see on a Korean table. Very rarely will you see an abundance fresh produce on a Korean table. So, I grew up eating a ton of vegetables, just not too many mixed together with heavy dressings.

My husband, on the other hand, ate salad with every dinner. Growing up with an Italian father, salad was the period to a sumptuous feast of pasta (yes, in many Italian households, they eat salad after pasta). So, I wanted to come up with a salad that both of us would like. That’s how this Broccoli and Apple Salad came to be. I love broccoli and who doesn’t love honeycrisp apples?

Turns out this was a hit with everyone. My family begs me to make it every time we get together, my sister-in-law tells me it’s her favorite recipe of mine, and many of my Instagram followers have advised me it’s on their weekly rotation. It’s so easy, delicious, and healthy, I’m not surprised. So, go ahead and try this Broccoli and Apple Salad yourself!

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
Over a year ago, after the death of Ahmaud Arbery, Over a year ago, after the death of Ahmaud Arbery, I started thinking a great deal about how to eradicate systemic racism in this country and the role that solidarity between various groups played in that objective.  In the past several months, as the AAPI community grappled with the rise in violence against its most vulnerable, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what we can learn from the this nation’s ongoing struggle with white supremacy and what, if any value, our solidarity with the Black American community could bring to that fight. This isn’t an easy post to write, partially because I am still learning and many of my thoughts remain unformed. Race, identity, oppression—these things are slippery, naturally evade definition, and as a result, it’s hard to have discussions about these things without causing injury—especially when we are all grieving as we continue to watch people die.
.
Not everyone’s activism looks the same. Mine tends to be more introspective, perhaps because I, like so many others, struggle with identifying concrete things I can actually do to make things better.  For me, it always boils down to “doing the right thing.” Character, integrity, loyalty. Showing up even when it’s so much easier to turn our backs and walk away. I write this now even as I know that I haven’t yet been really tested, that my commitment to BLM and the continued fight against systemic racism remains somewhat theoretical. When has my privilege really been threatened, when have I had to allow my own safety to be jeopardized for the safety of others?
.
I don’t yet know what the complete form of solidarity looks like, but I do know what it’s not: convenient.
Strawberry Milk! So easy. Just cut up some strawbe Strawberry Milk! So easy. Just cut up some strawberries, add a little orange zest, drop on some sweetener, then pour in 1/4 cup coffee creamer and 1 cup of your favorite plant milk! If you want extra berry flavor, marinate your cut strawberries in the sweetener for 1 hour before adding your liquids. The best part is scooping the strawberries into your mouth at the end. Trust me!
Someone asked me the other day whether I had ever Someone asked me the other day whether I had ever experienced any incidents of racism in my life. I had to laugh because at first I thought it was rhetorical. Of course I have. I’ve grown up with it. I don’t say that to play the victim-quite the opposite. It’s something I now take for granted as part of my life. And as I answered the question I realized it’s part of my “American life.” I’ve been thinking a lot these days about what it means to be “American.” It isn’t an easy one to answer and I think it’s an intensely personal question. So I answered it in reference to my own experiences. Recipe for this simple kimchi fried rice on my blog, thekoreanvegan.com. Just look up “fried rice.”
