With broccoli's high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and pro-detoxification compounds, easy-to-absorb calcium and soluble and insoluble fiber, it's definitely a vegetable you want to be eating more of-and I'm not talking just the usual side of steamed broccoli. It's also a great base for super-tasty meals like this salad.

Provided by Amy Chaplin

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium heads broccoli, stems removed and heads cut into florets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned daikon
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons unrefined sesame oil
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 red jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Roast the broccoli: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the broccoli florets, oil and a large pinch of salt to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toss to combine, and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stir and continue roasting until broccoli is browning, 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing: Warm the unrefined sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and jalapeno, and cook until garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, and add the vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds. Stir well to combine.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the roasted broccoli, carrots, daikon and scallions to a large bowl, and toss to combine. Divide between 2 bowls, and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

  • If you don't have a pineapple, you can use canned pineapple chunks or crushed pineapple. Just be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the salad.
  • For a sweeter salad, add more pineapple or honey. For a more tangy salad, add more vinegar or lemon juice.
  • This salad can be served immediately, or it can be chilled for up to 24 hours before serving. The flavors will meld together and become even more delicious over time.
