Recipe Information
Broccoli Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing
Cultural Context
Broccoli salad is a popular dish in American potlucks and barbecues, often featuring a mix of crunchy vegetables and a creamy dressing. The addition of avocado dressing elevates this classic by adding healthy fats and a rich flavor. This salad is versatile and can be adapted with various ingredients, making it a favorite for gatherings and meal prep.
Greek yogurt
🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt
💰Cheaper: sour cream
Low-fat yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.
sunflower seeds
🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds
💰Cheaper: peanuts
Pumpkin seeds provide similar crunch and nutrition.
dried cranberries
🥗Healthier: fresh cranberries
💰Cheaper: raisins
Raisins are more affordable and still sweet.
Cut broccoli into one inch florets, using the entire stalk.
Trim the bottom of the stalk and peel the outer tough part.
Cut the stalk in half lengthwise and slice into quarter inch thick pieces.
Boil 1 cup of water with 1/2 teaspoon of table salt.
Add the stalks to the boiling water first, then layer the florets on top.
Cook for about 3 minutes until bright green and just starting to become tender.
Drain the broccoli and plunge it into ice water to stop the cooking process.
Let the broccoli sit in the ice water for about 2 minutes to chill.
Cut the avocado into half inch pieces and scrape it into a food processor.
Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 3/4 teaspoon of table salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the food processor.
Process the dressing for about 30 seconds until creamy, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Drain the broccoli on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb moisture.
In a dry bowl, combine the broccoli with the dressing and toss to coat.
Add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, 1/2 cup of toasted sliced almonds, 1 sliced shallot, and 1 tablespoon of minced tarragon to the salad.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients.
