MEDITERRANEAN BROCCOLI SALAD



Mediterranean Broccoli Salad image

A simple, satisfying broccoli salad that's filled with Mediterranean flavors.

Provided by Chelsea Colbath

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 + Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon each of salt (pepper, and oregano)
1 clove garlic (grated on the microplane used to zest the lemon)
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup olive oil
3 bunches broccoli (stems and flourettes thinly sliced)
1/2 a red onion (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup Kalamata olives (quartered)
1/2 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled or sliced into small cubes)
1/4 cup basil (thinly sliced)

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.
