Broccoli Salad with Sesame
By Christina | December 5, 2008
I don’t write recipes here very often so when I do you know it’s a good one! I love broccoli and if you do too, this salad does not dissapoint.
Ingredients
1 large bunch broccoli rabe, ends trimmed off
2 heads broccoli
1 tablespoon golden raisins, cut up
1/4 cup salted cashews, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons seasoned rice-wine vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
Large pinch cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Salad Prep
Rinse broccoli rabe, steam until tender which should be 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse the rabe under cold running water, then drain. Wrap in a clean tea towel to absorb excess water. Chop into small pieces.
Cut the broccoli florets off and cut into small pieces. Steam for a short time making sure they remain bright green, this should take approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Like the rabe, rinse beneath cold running water. Drain well, and wrap in a clean tea towel to absorb excess water.
Place rabe and broccoli florets in a large bowl with raisins and cashews. Whisk together the oils, vinegar, garlic, and cayenne. Drizzle over salad, and lightly toss. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
