Steps:
- How to Make Fresh broccoli and Apple Salad with Walnuts: 1. Toast walnuts over medium/ high heat, tossing them occasionally so they don't burn. Heat about 4-5 minutes. Chop walnuts coarsely.
Tips:
- Choose the best broccoli and apples: Select broccoli crowns that are compact and have tightly closed florets. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples provide a nice tartness to balance the sweetness of the broccoli.
- Wash and chop the produce thoroughly: Rinse the broccoli and apples under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and thinly slice the apples.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli briefly in boiling water helps retain its vibrant green color and crisp texture.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This saves time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Add nuts and seeds for extra crunch: Toasted walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds add a nice nutty flavor and texture to the salad.
- Serve immediately: Broccoli salad is best served immediately after it's made. The broccoli will start to lose its crunch if it sits for too long.
