Broccoli Salad Recipes

 

Certainly! Here's a simple recipe for broccoli salad:

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Blanch the broccoli: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.

2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli florets, chopped red onion, raisins or dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds or sliced almonds.

4. Add the dressing: Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

5. Chill and serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold and enjoy!

Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences, adding more or less of any ingredient. You can also add other ingredients like shredded cheese, bacon bits, or diced apples for extra flavor and texture. Enjoy your broccoli salad!
