Broccoli rabe salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The bitterness of the broccoli rabe is balanced by the sweetness of the roasted garlic vinaigrette, and the addition of parmesan cheese and toasted walnuts adds a rich and nutty flavor. This salad is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and it is a good source of fiber.

BROCCOLI RABE WITH GARLIC
I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe. I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable. I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. http://www.elanaspantry.com/broccoli-rabe-with-garlic/

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE
I created this salad for Thanksgiving 2009 with a dressing based on a recipe I already had. This is a make-ahead salad. You can certainly change up some of the vegetables here. The possible addition of asparagus or tomato is intriguing. The marinated mushrooms had an especially wonderful taste and I wouldn't leave them out for anything. But you do what you like!
