Broccoli Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool, peel, and slice.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Whisk remaining oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until lightly emulsified; set aside. Place tomatoes, broccoli, peas, and corn together in a large mixing bowl; toss to combine. Add chicken, eggs and rice, and toss again. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Toss with dressing to coat just before serving.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until broccoli looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in broccoli rice, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until broccoli has softened, about 5 minutes. Pour lemon juice on top.

Steps:

• Combine broccoli and rice in a bowl. Add ham or turkey if you wish. Sprinkle some cheese into the dressing. Just before serving, dress the salad with the dressing and garnish with scallion.
• You could add some diced fresh red bell pepper for additional color and flavor.

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:

• In a large bowl, combine broccoli, green onions and cranberries. In a small bowl, whisk oil, vinegar and sugar until blended; drizzle over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels and bacon before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the broccoli onto a baking sheet along with the red onion and 1 tbsp of the sesame oil. Roast for 20 mins or until the broccoli is tender. Leave to cool a little.
• Whisk the remaining sesame oil, soy, rice wine vinegar and honey in a small bowl. Toss the broccoli, rice, onion and dressing together in a large bowl, then gently mix in the avocado and coriander. Divide between bowls and top with the sesame seeds and chilli.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 3 1/2 cups stock or water to boil. Add salt to taste and the wild rice. When the water returns to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain and transfer to a wide, heavy skillet.
• Make the dressing while the rice is cooking. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, mustard, and the garlic. Whisk in the oils, taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
• Steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the pan with the rice. Add the dressing and the nuts and heat through, stirring. Add freshly ground pepper and just before serving stir in the parsley and other chopped herbs. Serve warm.
