BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD

I like this version because there's no mayo- just a light Dijon dressing that enhances the flavors. This is best when chilled overnight. Adjust sugar to taste, before dressing the salad. Cooking time includes chilling.

FRESH BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD



FRESH BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD image

Categories     Broccoli

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium heads of broccoli, chopped into small pieces
1 large carrot, grated
1 apple, cored and finely chopped
1/4 medium onion (1/4 cup), finely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted on a skillet and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Dressing Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp sour cream
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper

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 right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Wash the broccoli thoroughly: Rinse the broccoli crowns under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces: Cut the broccoli crowns into florets and then cut the florets into smaller pieces. This will help the broccoli cook evenly.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of apples: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apples. You can use any type of apple you like, but some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn apples.
  • Add nuts and seeds for extra crunch: Nuts and seeds add a nice crunchy texture to this salad. Some good options include walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

This broccoli and apple salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give this recipe a try.
