This broccoli salad is my favorite way to enjoy crisp, crunchy, fresh broccoli. This is a healthy no-mayo recipe where lightly steamed broccoli is tossed in a lemon-Dijon dressing along with sweet red onion, creamy butter beans, freshly grated parmesan and toasted almonds.<\/p>\n

How to make broccoli salad<\/h2>\n

This has got to be one of the easiest salad recipes you\u2019ll ever throw together. There are only a handful of ingredients that make up the salad, plus a simple homemade dressing. I prefer a vinaigrette type dressing rather than a mayonnaise style dressing. Thus, the dressing for this broccoli salad is simply a combination of my go-to olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, grainy Dijon mustard, garlic and coarse sea salt. This is tossed over lightly steamed broccoli with Italian butter beans (Bianchi di Spagna<\/a>), Parmesan Reggiano and crunchy toasted almonds. What\u2019s great is you can also make this salad ahead of time \u2013 just toss everything together except the almonds \u2013 let stand (or refrigerate) for 30-60 minutes to let the broccoli soak of some of the dressing, then add the almonds, toss and serve. This results in a more flavorful salad.<\/p>\n

Can you use raw broccoli for this salad?<\/h2>\n

Sure! I like to lightly steam mine using a steamer basket<\/a> (only for 2 minutes, so it is still crisp), but you can also make this broccoli salad with raw broccoli. I would however recommend cutting the florets into very small pieces, tossing them with the dressing and letting it stand for at least 20 minutes to let the dressing marinade and break down the broccoli a little, before finishing off the salad with the other ingredients. Most important for both methods is to choose super fresh, organic broccoli. The florets should be really firm and not at all limp or yellowed. Older broccoli can have a bitter, stronger taste. You could also add a touch of honey to the dressing to add a little sweetness.<\/p>\n
