With broccoli's high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and pro-detoxification compounds, easy-to-absorb calcium and soluble and insoluble fiber, it's definitely a vegetable you want to be eating more of-and I'm not talking just the usual side of steamed broccoli. It's also a great base for super-tasty meals like this salad.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium heads broccoli, stems removed and heads cut into florets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned daikon
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons unrefined sesame oil
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 red jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

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. Toss to combine, and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stir and continue roasting until broccoli is browning, 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has loose florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help the broccoli cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Blanch the broccoli before adding it to the salad. Blanching helps to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a variety of toppings and mix-ins. This will add flavor and texture to the salad. Some popular options include bacon, cheese, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This will help the flavors to shine and keep the salad refreshing.
