CITRUS-MARINATED BROCCOLI AND CHICKPEA SALAD



Citrus-Marinated Broccoli and Chickpea Salad image

Not every salad needs to rely on lettuce - and this colorful veggie-packed dish proves the point with color, crunch and a hefty dose of herbs. Marinated broccoli and chickpea make up the bulk of the base, keeping the salad hearty without being heavy. Fresh zucchini and tomatoes add color and texture, and a light and refreshing blend of herbs, garlic and citrus juice bring everything together. Let the salad chill in the fridge for an hour before serving. If you're packing for a picnic in the park, this is one to stash in the cooler.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound broccoli crowns
1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 medium cobs sweet corn, shucked and kernels shaved off (about 2 cups)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped Hatch peppers
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic
1 medium navel orange, juiced (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • For the broccoli and chickpea salad: Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water and fill a large bowl with ice water. Remove the broccoli stalks and set aside for another use. Trim the broccoli crown into florets. Add the broccoli florets to the pot of boiling water and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and just fork-tender. Remove the broccoli florets with a slotted spoon and plunge them in the bowl of ice water. Drain the broccoli when fully cooled.
  • Place the zucchini in a colander or on paper towels and salt generously. Let stand for 10 minutes, until some water is released.
  • Place the broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, chickpeas and corn in a large bowl; set aside.
  • For the citrus-herb marinade: Place the cilantro, parsley, rice wine vinegar, Dijon, Hatch peppers, honey, garlic and orange juice in a food processor and pulse a few times until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. The mixture will be loose.
  • Pour over the vegetables in the bowl and toss to dress. Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

BROCCOLI GRAPE SALAD



Broccoli Grape Salad image

I got this recipe from one of my close friends. She made this for one of our cookouts at Mineral Lake and everyone just fell in love with it. We all had to have the recipe and so I wanted to share it with everyone too. Noone would think that grapes would go with broccoli but it sure does. The dressing really sets off the salad. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

  • Rinse chickpeas thoroughly: Before using, rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt or brine.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Chill the salad before serving: For the best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to come together and the dressing to set.
