Steps:
- Roast the broccoli: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the broccoli florets, oil and a large pinch of salt to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Make the dressing: Warm the unrefined sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and jalapeno, and cook until garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, and add the vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds. Stir well to combine.
- Assemble the salad: Add the roasted broccoli, carrots, daikon and scallions to a large bowl, and toss to combine. Divide between 2 bowls, and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

SPICY-TANGY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY
Chicken, broccoli, and cashews stir-fried in a citrus and red pepper sauce, served over rice. I wanted to make a tasty stir fry with ingredients I had on hand and this is what I came up with. I also didn't have time to marinate. I have the chicken and broccoli cut and ready to go before I start the rice. Once the rice has been on simmer for about 5 of its 20 minutes, I start frying the broccoli/ cashews and the chicken. This results in all ingredients being ready at the same time.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that have yellow or brown spots, as these are signs of age or spoilage.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. If you are using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Tangy broccoli is a versatile dish that can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic, ginger, lemon juice, vinegar, and chili flakes.
- Serve immediately: Tangy broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the broccoli retains its bright green color and crisp texture.
Conclusion:
Tangy broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a variety of meals. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and it can help to boost your immune system. With its vibrant color and tangy flavor, tangy broccoli is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
