Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large heads broccoli (preferably organic)
6 slices prosciutto or turkey bacon
Raw biscuit dough scraps (from the Turkey Potpie with a Biscuit Crust below)
1/2 small red onion, minced
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon Thai chili paste
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut the broccoli heads into florets and then chop in bite-size pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
  • When the oven is preheated, place the prosciutto on the prepared baking sheet. Cut biscuit dough scraps into bite-size pieces and place them on a separate baking sheet. Bake the biscuit scraps for 10 minutes and the prosciutto for 15, turning the baking sheets after 7 minutes. Allow to cool, then break the prosciutto into small pieces.
  • Add the onions and prosciutto pieces to the salad bowl and toss gently to distribute.
  • For the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, chili paste, salt, pepper and garlic; whisk to combine. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.
  • Pour a little less than half of the dressing over the broccoli mixture, or add to taste; toss to coat evenly. Top with biscuit croutons just before serving.
