Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the broccoli: bring a small pot of water to a boil, and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 2
Rinse and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the spinach.
Step 4
Break apart the canned tuna into small chunks and add it to the salad bowl.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Add the blanched broccoli to the salad bowl and pour the dressing over the top.
Step 7
Toss the salad gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour for a chilled salad experience.
