Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound broccoli florets (from 1 1/2 pounds broccoli stalks), thinly sliced and then roughly chopped (see photos)
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
1/3 cup dried cranberries or dried tart cherries, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

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.

(To toast almonds, place on a large baking sheet and bake at 350F for 3-5 minutes stirring in between. Do not walk away! They will burn easily. The almonds are toasted when they turn light brown.)
Toss the dressing with the rest of the salad ingredients and stir.
Dressing can be added at the last minute if desired.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad with Toasted Almonds & Lemon Honey Vinaigrette. This salad is full of amazing textures and contrasting flavors. To start with, you’ll use goat cheese, which is wonderfully creamy and nicely tangy.
Spring Pasta Salad. How adorable does this pasta look? I’d never seen that shape before, so I promptly went to scour my local HomeGoods. You can usually find fun pasta in there.
Grilled Asparagus Salad with Lemon & Feta. Asparagus has a pretty strong flavor, and people have compared it to beans and even mushrooms in the past.
Spring Potato Salad. This recipe isn’t so much “potato salad” as it is “potato and salad.” There’s no thick and creamy coating here, but rather a slightly tangy mustard dressing, not too dissimilar to the pasta salad above.
Lettuce Radish Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette. Crunchy, light, tangy, peppery, and super fast to make, this might just be the easiest salad recipe on the list.
