Tired of boring salads? This sesame broccoli salad is the perfect side dish or star salad for any meal, packed with bright flavours and a moreish miso sesame dressing.
Ingredients
2 large broccoli heads, cut into large florets
1 tsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp tahini
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp miso paste
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp cold water
1 cup mixed salad leaves
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 Tbsp chopped peanuts
½ cup fresh coriander leaves
Thinly sliced red chilli, if desired
Method
Bring a large heavy based frying pan to a high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sesame oil, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is al dente; stirring occasionally so that a charred flavour can form. Set aside.
To make the dressing, stir together the tahini, rice wine vinegar, miso paste and maple syrup. While whisking, stir in the cold water and mix well.
To assemble the salad, arrange the warm charred broccoli and salad leaves on a plate. Drizzle over the miso dressing, then garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, coriander and chilli. Serve immediately.
