Warm Broccoli Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the broccoli together with the oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli in an evenly spaced single layer onto a baking sheet. Roast until the florets just begin to char and the stems have softened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, add the bacon to a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the fat has rendered and the bacon is almost crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Add the roasted broccoli to a large bowl and pour the bacon dressing over the top along with the walnuts, tossing to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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:

• Toss together the broccoli slaw, cabbage, kale, parsley and raisins in a large bowl.
• Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet; set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until well browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet and add the olive oil. Add the shallot and cook over medium heat until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Immediately pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to coat. Add the bacon and toss; season with salt. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour to soften.

Steps:

• Place the chick peas and their soaking liquid in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer until the chick peas are tender, 30 minutes to an hour. Remove the bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, place the red onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Dry on paper towels.
• Make the dressing. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil (or the oil and buttermilk or yogurt). Set aside.
• When the beans are tender, add the broccoli. Turn up the heat, cover and simmer or steam (depending on how much water is left in the pan) 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright. Drain the beans and broccoli and toss with the dressing. Add the herbs and the Parmesan, toss again, and serve warm.
