Broccoli Salad With Garlic and Sesame image

From Melissa Clark in the *New York Times,* who writes: "This salad is made from uncooked broccoli tossed with an assertive garlic, sesame, chile and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid 'cooks' the florets a little as ceviche does fish. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing. You'll be making this one again."
