Broccoli Chickpea And Cherry Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan with a steamer insert, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, red-wine vinegar, olive oil, and onion; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and broccoli. Toss to coat with dressing. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:

• Steam broccoli florets until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Once cool, chop and combine with chickpeas, scallions, parsley, and pine nuts.
• In a bowl, combine garlic, mustard, honey, lemon zest and juice. Slowly add oil, whisking to emulsify, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk Dijon mustard with red wine vinegar and olive oil.

Steps:

• For the broccoli and chickpea salad: Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water and fill a large bowl with ice water. Remove the broccoli stalks and set aside for another use. Trim the broccoli crown into florets. Add the broccoli florets to the pot of boiling water and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and just fork-tender. Remove the broccoli florets with a slotted spoon and plunge them in the bowl of ice water. Drain the broccoli when fully cooled.
• Place the zucchini in a colander or on paper towels and salt generously. Let stand for 10 minutes, until some water is released.
• Place the broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, chickpeas and corn in a large bowl; set aside.
• For the citrus-herb marinade: Place the cilantro, parsley, rice wine vinegar, Dijon, Hatch peppers, honey, garlic and orange juice in a food processor and pulse a few times until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. The mixture will be loose.
• Pour over the vegetables in the bowl and toss to dress. Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the orzo according to package directions. I strongly suggest adding a couple teaspoons of salt or so to the water for extra flavor.
• Throw the orzo into a large bowl with the tomatoes, onion, drained garbanzo beans, basil, and mint.
• In a small bowl, make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and olive oil.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the orzo, veggies, and herbs, and toss gently until well incorporated.
• Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
• Great when served at room temperature, but also refreshing served chilled.
