Recipe Instructions:
-
Cook broccoli: In a saucepan, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are crisp-tender.
-
Rinse and drain: Once cooked, rinse the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
-
Prepare the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, sliced tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, and chopped green onions. Toss gently to mix evenly.
-
Make the dressing: In a krudit jar or any jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine olive oil, cider, tarragon vinegar, water, lemon juice, sugar, salt, dried thyme, minced garlic, celery seed, lemon-pepper seasoning, paprika, and ground mustard. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.
-
Dress the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Use a pair of tongs to gently toss the salad, ensuring that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
-
Chill and marinate: Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to marinate.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chilled broccoli and tomato salad to a serving dish. The slotted spoon will help drain any excess dressing, leaving behind a perfectly dressed salad ready to enjoy.
