Broccoli and Red Bell Pepper Salad image

This is a variation of a broccoli salad we used to serve in a Vermont food co-op deli where I worked. It's not only a great way to get your veggies, but the capers and olives give it a piquant taste. Also, the blanched broccoli and red bell pepper make for a colorful side dish.

BROCCOLI AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH FETA AND RED PEPPERS



Broccoli and Endive Salad With Feta and Red Peppers image

Parents appreciate broccoli because it's one vegetable that their children will eat. But what about broccoli for adults? How much plain steamed broccoli do you really want to eat? We rarely base a meal on this healthy food, yet there are plenty of ways to move it to the center of your plate. For main dishes, I am most likely to use broccoli in a salad, a soup or pasta. Those little flowers - the crown of the broccoli is the plant's flower - are like sponges for tasty sauces, dressings and broths. Like other cruciferous vegetables in the Brassica family (kale, collard greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower), broccoli contains sulfur-containing phytonutrients that have gotten a lot of attention from nutritionists for their potential cancer-fighting properties. It's packed with vitamins C, A, K and folate, as well as with fiber. And broccoli is a very good source of manganese, tryptophan, potassium, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin E. In this beautiful salad, the bitter flavor of the endive is countered by the sweet red peppers and broccoli.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced or pureed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lightly toasted pine nuts
6 Belgian endives, leaves separated
2 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, tarragon, chervil

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the broccoli to the boiling water, and cook 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the ice water, let cool for a few minutes and drain. Dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the red pepper, pine nuts, feta and half the dressing.
