This fresh crisp salad is a nice addition to a plate of munchies. Toss the vegetables with dressing just before serving to keep their bright colour.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccoli, 1 lb/500 g
- 1 head cauliflower, 1 lb/500 g
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- 1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1-1/2 cups sweet onion or red onion
Preparation
Cut broccoli and cauliflower into florets to make 6 cups (1.5 L) each. Peel broccoli stalks; slice thinly.
Fill large bowl with ice water; set aside. In large pot of boiling salted water, blanch cauliflower then broccoli until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes each, transferring with slotted spoon to ice water to chill. Drain well and set aside. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 6 hours.)
In large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Just before serving, add broccoli, cauliflower, pine nuts, red pepper and onion; toss to coat.
