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.

BROCCOLI AND FETA SALAD



Broccoli and Feta Salad image

I took this amazing salad to a barbecue and there was nothing left. If you use herbed and garlic Feta Cheese, omit the 1 clove of garlic or taste and then add as much garlic to suit your taste buds. You can also make this ahead and keep covered in the refrigerator up to a day. This recipe came from one of my favorite magazines "Canadian Living."

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli you can find. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help the broccoli cook evenly and will make it easier to eat.
  • Blanch the broccoli before adding it to the salad. This will help to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and will also help to remove some of the bitterness.
  • Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and texture to the salad. Some good options include feta cheese, bacon, red onion, and dried cranberries.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make it easier to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep the broccoli crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its fresh, crunchy broccoli, creamy feta cheese, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
