I've "fancied-up" this potluck classic by giving it lots of extra flavor while still keeping it quick and easy to prepare.
This is a short one. First, put some broccoli, a little onion, carrots, grapes and apples into a bowl.
Then, add a kick to some vegan mayo with agave, lemon juice and black pepper. Mix the dressing in with the fruits and veggies. Throw in some sunflower seeds and bacon bits to give it a salty crunch. Pack it up and you're good to go!
