Raw Broccoli Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, zest, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. While whisking constantly, gradually add the olive oil. Add the broccoli and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Stir in the tomatoes, hazelnuts and basil. Cover and allow to sit, at room temperature or in the refrigerator, for another 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat just until crisp; drain on paper towels.
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain well, run under cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, sugar and raisins. Add the broccoli and toss the coat with the dressing. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Just before servings, fold in the sunflower kernels and the bacon pieces. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, your favorite nuts and mix well.
• To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion. In another bowl, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Pour over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli heads into bite-sized pieces.
• Peel the stems and cut them up also.
• Put the broccoli into a bowl together with the onion and the raisins.
• Combine the dressing ingredients two hours before serving and pour over the broccoli.
• Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over just before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare broccoli by washing it well, trimming off large leaves, cutting florets into bite-size pieces and peeling the stem, then slicing thinly.
• Place in a large bowl and add crumbled bacon, onion and cheese; stir.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine mayo, vinegar and sugar.
• Pour over salad ingredients and toss well; refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let flavours blend.
• Just before serving, add the halved cherry tomatoes and stir again.

Steps:

• Whisk together the dressing ingredients well and set aside.
• Toss everything else together and pour dressing over salad.
• Cool in fridge for an hour.
• Note. I use a 9x13 glass dish for this recipe.

Steps:

• Mix vegan mayonnaise, agave nectar, and vinegar together in a large bowl until well blended. Add broccoli, carrots, red onion, bell peppers, raisins, and walnuts and toss to coat.
• Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Place raisins and red onion in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of water, and toss to combine. Leave to pickle for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Peel the woody exterior from the broccoli stalks and discard. Chop the stalks into ½-inch pieces. Chop the broccoli florets into ½-inch pieces. (The pieces do not have to be uniform or the same shape.) Place all the broccoli into a large mixing bowl.
• After 10 minutes, finish the dressing by adding the olive oil and sesame oil to the bowl with the pickling raisins and red onion, and stir well to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. It should be tangy, slightly sweet and a little salty.
• Add the raisin-and-onion dressing to the broccoli along with the apple and scallions. Using two large spoons, toss well so that everything is well coated. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Taste to make sure you are happy with the seasonings, adding more if needed.
• When you are ready to eat, add the almonds and grapes (if using), and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Chop broccoli and cauliflower, discarding most of the stem sections.
• Mix broccoli, cauliflower, onion, apple, raisins, bacon bits, walnuts, and cheese in large bowl.
• Combine mayo, sugar, and vinegar in medium bowl.
• Mix together mayo mixture and broccoli mixture.
• Cover and chill over night. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Rinse the sliced shallot under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut the stalks away from the broccoli heads. Using a knife or vegetable peeler, remove the fibrous outer layer of the stalks so its light green insides emerge; compost or discard the outer layer. Thinly slice the stalks crosswise, then thinly slice the heads into bite-size pieces. (A mix of shapes and sizes adds texture to the salad, so chop up the broccoli a few ways; there's no one right way to go about it.) Transfer to the large bowl as you go, then transfer any loose bits from the cutting board to the bowl.
• Season the broccoli generously with salt and pepper, then add the almonds, pickled peppers, olives, oil, vinegar and provolone. Toss vigorously with a spoon until everything is combined and the broccoli is shiny with oil.
• Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar as needed. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The salad improves with age as its flavors meld, and it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Before serving, bring to room temperature and adjust salt, pepper, oil and vinegar to taste, as flavors change in the fridge.

Steps:

• Discard broccoli stems and finely chop florets or broccolini. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the Splenda, vinegar and mayonnaise toghether until it is an even, smooth consistency. Stir in the broccoli and remaining ingredients. Toss until coated. Chill until ready to serve.
