Blanche broccoli by boiling for 3 minutes, or steam for 5 minutes, and then place it in ice water immediately.
Once cool, combine broccoli, onion, sunflower seeds, raisins and cashews in a salad bowl. Add agave nectar or honey to taste. If using honey, mix it with a little bit of water to achieve a similar consistency. Toss together and serve.
Tip: Blanching vegetables before freezing them is one of the best ways to preserve flavor, color and nutrients.
