Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli cut into small florets

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Cook Broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water. Cook the broccoli for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp.
  • Make Dressing: Meanwhile, add all the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
  • Shock: Transfer the broccoli directly from the boiling water to a bowl of ice water, using a slotted spoon. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then drain well. Transfer it to a paper towel lined bowl to fully dry.
  • Toss: Remove the paper towel from the bowl and pour the dressing over the broccoli. Toss the broccoli to coat well with the dressing.

Notes

  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
  2. This salad can be frozen as well. It will last up to 1 year if stored in an airtight container.
