Steps:
- 1. Zest and juice a lemon into a measure cup. Then, add vinegar to make 1/4 cup total in the measuring cup. For me this was about 2 Tablespoons of vinegar.
- 2. Add all other ingredients, except olive oil, and whisk to combine. Then, add in oil and whisk again to fully incorporate the oil into the dressing. Set aside.
- 1. Place all ingredients into a large serving bowl except feta.
- 2. Pour dressing over vegetables, and stir well to combine. Then, add in feta cheese and stir gently (so feta isn't completely dissolved by the mixing process).
- 3. Salad can be eaten immediately, or stored in th fridge for up to 5 days. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more of the lemon-Dijon dressing is absorbed into the broccoli. By day 3 the salad isn't quite as crunchy, but is still completely delicious.
