Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccoli
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 15 grams fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water for blanching the broccoli.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately transfer the broccoli to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine and coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side or light meal.
