Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 grams walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Cut the broccoli into small florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer it to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Clean the button mushrooms, remove the stems if desired, and slice them thinly.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create the vinaigrette.
Step 7
In a large serving bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, and chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them lightly in a dry pan over low heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the toasted walnuts to the salad.
Step 9
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
