Broccoli Vinaigrette Recipes

FAVORITE BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
• Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
• In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
• Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.

MARTHA'S FAVORITE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Secure lid and shake vigorously until thickened. Refrigerate up to 3 days (shake vigorously before each use.)

QUICK BROCCOLI IN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make vinaigrette, measure balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper into a small bowl. Use a whisk or a fork to blend ingredients together, until completely blended. Set vinaigrette aside while you steam broccoli.
• Trim the leaves, and cut off really tough ends of the broccoli. Give broccoli a quick rinse, then cut into spears. Place broccoli spears into a steamer basket or rack, and steam (covered) over boiling water for 5 minutes. When done, the broccoli should be crisp/tender in texture.
• Immediately transfer the steamed broccoli out of steamer and onto a serving plate. Drizzle the broccoli spears with the balsamic vinaigrette, using all of it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Serve hot, and enjoy!

BROCCOLINI AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccolini stems. If some stems are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. When the water comes to a full boil, add the broccolini, return to a boil, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Pour enough dressing over the broccolini to moisten and toss well. Splash with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm or hot.

BROCCOLI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place vinegar, shallots, mustard, soy sauce, Sriracha, harissa, and lemon zest and juice in the jar of a blender. With the machine running, slowly add olive oil to emulsify. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, until ready to use, up to 3 days.

BROCCOLI AND SCALLIONS WITH THAI-STYLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli and scallions with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• While the vegetables roast, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients until the brown sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Place the broccoli and scallions in a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Serve right away or the vegetables will become soggy.

BROCCOLI WITH CHEDDAR VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a blender blend together the oil, the vinegar, the water, the Tabasco, the Cheddar, and salt and pepper to taste until the vinaigrette is smooth. In a small saucepan bring 1 inch of water to a boil and in it cook the broccoli, covered, over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender. Drain the broccoli well and serve it topped with the vinaigrette.

BROCCOLI COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix and onions. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the remaining ingredients; shake well. Drizzle over coleslaw; toss to coat.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH SWEET VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a plastic storage container, whisk together the juice, yogurt, mustard, and preserves. Add the broccoli and onion. Toss to coat.
• Cover the container with the lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day before serving.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH VINEGAR-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, cut-sides down, and roast, without flipping, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the butter, vinegar and mustard to the broccoli on the sheet pan and toss until the butter's melted, scraping up browned bits from the pan as you go. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place prepared broccoli in bowl or pan and pour enough boiling water over it to almost cover. When broccoli turns bright green, drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside to drain.
• Prepare all other vegetables and place in medium bowl. Add broccoli. Reserve cheese for serving.
• In blender, put the vinegar, garlic, herbs and seasonings. Blend until smooth.
• Add oil and blend quickly.
• Pour over vegetables and stir. Cover and refrigerate. Stir again in about an hour.
• Store overnight to serve the next day. Take out of refrigerator about 1/2 hour before serving, adding the shaved cheese. Stir and serve.

CABBAGE AND BROCCOLI SLAW WITH VINEGAR DRESSING
