Time 27m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 -2 tablespoon curry powder
2 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
7 cups broccoli (cut into small florets) or 7 cups cauliflower (cut into small florets)
1 large carrot, sliced paper thin
1 (10 ounce) box couscous
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, well drained and rinsed (garbanzo beans)
1/2 cup olive oil (or to taste)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (or to taste)
1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
4 -5 green onions, chopped
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan stir the curry powder over medium heat until fragrant and toasted (about 1 minute).
  • Add in 2-1/4 cups water with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add in veggie florets and carrots to the saucepan with the water and curry; bring to full a boil, cover and cook 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and mix in couscous; cover and let stand until the couscous softens (about 5-6 minutes).
  • Transfer the couscous and veggies to a large bowl.
  • Mix in garbanzo beans, oil, wine vinegar, minced fresh ginger; toss to combine.
  • Cool to room temperature or chill (make certain that the couscous is completely cooled or the feta will melt).
  • Add in feta cheese, green onions and toasted almonds (if using); toss to combine.
  • Add in salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are tightly closed and deep green in color. Avoid florets that are yellow or brown, as these may be past their prime.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The best curry broccoli salad is one that is packed with flavor and texture. Try adding a variety of toppings to your salad, such as chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and crumbled cheese.
  • Make it a meal: Curry broccoli salad can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you are serving it as a main course, add some protein to the salad, such as grilled chicken or tofu.

Conclusion:

Curry broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give curry broccoli salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
