Thai Style Broccoli Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the broccoli stalks and peel them to remove the tough outer layer. Cut off the florets, leaving as much of the stalk as possible intact, and set the florets aside. Using the shredding or julienne blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a sharp knife, julienne the stems and place them in a large bowl.
• Finely chop or julienne the florets and add them to the bowl, along with the scallions and peanuts.
• In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the tahini, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the broccoli to soften slightly.
• Just before serving, add the fresh herbs and toss well. (You can refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving.)
