Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If still grainy, add a little more water. 2. Chill before using. Broccoli Salad Ingredients: 2 heads broccoli 2 medium sweet potatoes 1 red onion 2 medium carrots 1 medium apple 1 cup cooked farro Smokey tofu “mayo” dressing (see above) Instructions: 1. Cut broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. * 2. Dice onion, carrots, and apple into 1⁄4” pieces. 3. Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Boil until fork tender, drain well, and roast to get some color in a 425 F oven (15-20 minutes). 4. Toast 1⁄2 cup of farro in a dry pan until fragrant. Add 1 1⁄2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, fluff with a fork, and then cover for another 5-10 minutes. 5. Toss all the ingredients in the creamy dressing and chill before serving. *If you prefer your broccoli not as raw tasting, blanch for 1 minute in hot water then shock in ice. Trim off the more fibrous outer portion of the stem and make sure to chop up and include this portion in your salad. Note: preparing this a day ahead optimizes the nutrient punch of many of these ingredients. The sweet potatoes and farro will develop more resistant starch content and the broccoli will contain more of the amazing health-promoting compound, sulforaphane.

Health Care ministry in inner city neighborhoods must be incarnational – embracing our communities. Living, working and serving within the context of the community we serve draws us toward God’s love for people and helps us identify with our neighbors. Should one try to move into communities of poverty in order to serve there? How can we encourage those indigenous to our communities to stay to serve God within the context of their lives? This workshop will explore Christ’s healing ministry among those he came to serve. Susan Post, the director of Esperanza Health Center and Tony Gonzalez, an Esperanza leader will share their experiences, challenges and vision for health care ministry as one who relocated into North Philadelphia and one who grew up in North Philadelphia. We need one another to be able to gain a more complete vision for effective Christ-centered health care ministry.
