Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.25 cups slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until they release their moisture and become tender.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, chopped parsley, and slivered almonds.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
