Broccoli Summer Salad
Another round of “what do the people want?!” has led to another favorite that I couldn’t wait to get out there. I’m starting to taste spring, starting to crave summer & all the things that go along with it. Like you know, hanging with friends, drinks on the patio, bbqs, beach volleyball - man I’m daydreaming. Anyways, back to reality. This Broccoli Salad is killer. If you think you like a little leafy green side salad, I guarantee you’ll trade it for this next time! Test it out when your craving some summer freshness, even if it’s just from your counter. Cheers to daydreaming of summer 🥂
ingredients:
(side salad for 4-6)
1 large head broccoli (chopped into bite size pieces)
1/2 cup @oceansprayinc craisins
1/3 cup @traderjoes raw sliced almonds
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup crumbled feta
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp spicy grain mustard
1 tsp mayo (or Greek yogurt!)
garlic powder + salt + pepper to taste
how to:
chop your head of broccoli removing the stems & cutting into pure size pieces (pre-cut is great too!)
in a large bowl: add broccoli + craisins + almonds (sunflower seeds are also a great sub! Thinking of you @applessssss ), carrots + red onion + feta
in a jar (or a bowl!) add the ingredients for the dressing: olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, mayo. Shake until fully combined (or whisk!). *i like to double the dressing! If you have leftovers, it’s nice to refresh with some extra dressing + feta!
add your dressing to the salad + a shake of garlic powder + s&p & toss thoroughly until everything is fully coated. Top with @everything_but_the_bagel for an extra zing!
let this sit for an hour or so in the fridge before serving! The longer it sits the more marinated & tender the broccoli gets!
ENJOY aside your favorites - or alone. This is a no-judgment zone!
