Charred Broccoli Salad with Cheddar and Dates

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Finding out that roasting your vegetables makes them delicious after having been fed boiled veggies for ages really changed my perspective, winter 2020 I basically lived off of roasted brussle sprouts

[@izzybell3349]

Relatable af! I think i'm the only person in my family who prefers roasted veg tho, my family always wants it boiled and it pains me lol

[@samezuoo]

Hahaha, for me the big discovery was broiling veg in the oven 😅 So good!

[@jessie551]

Big same. My partner and I both grew up eating steamed veggies, and not liking them at all. When I became an Adult™ and started cooking for myself and my partner, I discovered roasting or grilling veggies, and eating the veggies that are in season, it was 100% a game changer. We devour vegetables now, and have them with just about every meal. ❤

[@theprousteffect9717]

The difference is really something! Not only boiled vegetables, but unseasoned boiled vegetables. If you got a little salt, pepper, and butter, you were lucky.

[@bhaalboy]

Not only that - it wasn't until I was an adult living on my own that I realized that I could just season and cook veggies like meat. Roasted (and slightly charred) brussel sprouts with sweet and smokey bbq seasoning is SO addicting.

[@saintseymour]

just renamed this dish "Darkness on the Edge of Crown" when you explained charring vs burning, and i laughed harder at my own thought than i'm proud of and i'll see myself out.

[@sapphirebhs]

I have made this 4 times since watching this video. It is delicious and now a go to. Never waste broccoli again.

[@stephaniesimpson4016]

I love it when I see a delicious recipe and I have ALL THE INGREDIENTS. Thank you for showing me what's for lunch, Carla!

[@Hamgrazer]

I watched this yesterday and I’ve already made it twice. So delicious. RIP Lettuce.

[@D3NN15FR0GM4N]

I freaking LOOOVE your broccoli recipes you put out!!! Broccoli Delight is one of my go too weekly dishes!!!

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Not sure what is more iconic: Chopping Broccoli by Dana Carvey or Broccoli by DRAM?

[@azilbean]

Dana!😂

[@cappie8345]

This was delicious!

[@bridgetown1966]

please please PLEASE tell me “chopping broccoli” was a nod to like… the best SNL sketch ever (ok, well… ONE of them…)

[@virginiaf.5764]

It's a funny one, but my new favorite snl sketch is the Waffle House sketch ... it's hysterical. Have you seen it?

Carla you always welcome on the west coast! We are rather fun....

[@melindaleighh]

Thanks for the tip of charring the broccoli bigger!! I appreciate you!

[@TheBigbetta]

Have been making broccoli pasta for years, dollop of ricotta has just altered the course of my life

[@voodoosleeper]

This looks absolutely friggin delicious.

[@g0lddustt29]

Broccoli Delight was already a fave in my house. You're telling me it's a salad now? Be still my heart.

[@virginiaf.5764]

I like cold broccoli salads of all kinds. Most time when I'm having broccoli as a side dish, I let it cool after blanching, and just drizzle it with olive oil and lemon juice. The dates sound good ... kind of a riff on deli broccoli salad with raisins. I have cheddar and dates, so will give this a try.

[@kristinaginorio1344]

I asked for more salad recipes, and you delivered!

[@Heybros233]

Whomever does your nails is an ARTIST + so is your sister!! Wow talented family

[@cornpopper4921]

Brocoli makes a very compelling argument.

[@aronc24]

Doing this with the orange cauliflower in my fridge TONIGHT.

[@izzybell3349]

Ah one of the recipes I've made before! My fam wasn't a fan of the dates, so when we make it now we use cranberries or raisins but it's sooo delicious. I love heating it up and melting cheese cubes w spice in it so it gets an extra kick, literally such a great dish to play around with. I made it once with your pork and beans recipe and would pour the leftover pork and drippings into a bowl with the salad and create the best lunch combo fr lmao. Literally my fav canvas in broccoli salad form.

[@italiana626sc]

I love charred/roasted broccoli!! Thanks for another gorgeous vegetarian dish! Also, love the SNL throwback (Chopping Broccoli). 😅

Will try!

[@laureblau1241]

Been doing this recipe for a while now, I love it !!

i would like to spin this w dried cranberries or apricots red wine vinegar and parmesan… but i love broccoli so much i don’t even need anything else 💚🥦

[@maryallen9391]

Home-run Chef!!!!

[@TheCountess001]

This looks so good!! Can’t wait to try this!

[@dolphinately]

Simple and smart. Potluck dishes usually sit for a while and the salad ALWAYS wilts, but broccoli just gets better and can be eaten hot or cold. Give lettuce a break! She's so tired!

[@San11006]

I’ve made this 4 times already and it’s so good!!! I’m vegan so I leave out the cheese but it’s still so delicious ❤❤❤

[@YIsing113]

Mrs. Music!! This salad! I’m pretty sure I’m responsible for 1k views myself. I was on. Liquid diet when I first saw this. Today, it’s over and I immediate made it. I wish I could show you the picture. It’s amazing.

[@rossjones1530]

I made this with the singular addition of some finely chopped pepperoncini; a tiny hint of heat because I’m an incorrigible chilli fiend. 😂 Absolutely delicious!

[@zacr4664]

When you mentioned the Broccoli Board I thought you meant we should be doing a broccoli version of a cheese board and I was very into that!

[@italiana626sc]

That's exactly what I thought, too!

[@_helmi]

This is just perfect for my Asian food taste palate! Mainly because I'm not used to eat uncooked, raw and cold salads but I'm too lazy to cook/stir fry another proper vegetable side dish.

[@oliverpiong6558]

omg this looks so yums

[@kaiju_k5042]

Charring raw broccoli is a game changer, I made this when I got your first cookbook and wow, so yum, now I also char some lemon halves and add a little lemon to it, kinda inspired by your other marvel, Broccoli D ( Delight, which was so good that my bf stole half my plate when I first made it). Also totally recommend finding Marcona almonds online for this, they are an incredible snack to have around as well.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Such a great recipe! Yes, lettuce give lettuce a break. We love her, but she's overworked and doesn't take well to traveling. Happy early Mother's Day! ❤

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Let's play "How many ways can I bring Broccoli Delight to my summer potlucks"

[@kevinwilliams1256]

Oooo trying this, never thought to char broccoli but sounds perfect with the other ingredients yum #broccolisalad

[@virginiaf.5764]

Carla! Those are some tree trunk broccoli stems ... easier to peel that the puny stems I typically get with the broccoli my supermarket carries. I've never seen any that thick.

[@showstopas]

i cant with your humor lol

[@sabinavantilburg2046]

love the recipe AND your nails !

[@azilbean]

Can't wait to make! ❤ Is the dressing just the apple cider vinegar and honey? I watched twice, but I'm still unclear.

[@harlandted]

I love your angry mom energy. 😂

[@richardjohnson8356]

[@wedoej1]

this was such a great side! I was surprised on how much the honey drizzle made a difference. I substituted cheddar for Monchego, you're right, delish! overall, one of my new fav side dishes!

[@frankster428]

Carla… I love you. That’s all.

[@bunnydoriya]

See, I don't need anyone to sell me on broccoli, because I love it, but that intro really sold me on broccoli. Like, if I had to be sold on broccoli, if I was a broccoli hater, the intro would have destroyed me. I'd be apologising to broccoli for the rest of my life.

[@forteandblues]

I hate lettuce, but unfortunately, I actually hate broccoli more. Still going to watch the whole video because I like learning your TECHNIQUE

Carla can talk to Brocolis and THEY SAID TO HER: YOU KNOW LETTUCE? YOU KNOW HER? GIRL, SHE IS TIRED!

[@unit--ns8jh]

Love broccoli, love dates, love cheddar - definitely gonna make this salad :) BTW Carla is otm with broccoli stems tasting like kohlrabi, I always thought they taste similar when eating raw broccoli, but once I had a kohlrabi cream soup and it tasted exactly like broccoli soup 🤔

[@g0lddustt29]

Kohlrabi It is a cultivar of the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, and gai lan. They're all related!

[@bluedrummajor2876]

I'm thinking macadamia nuts instead of almonds and raisins instead of figs.

[@retractedhack]

What are some “spin it” options to replace the dates in this recipe?

[@welfareprincess]

Ty mom

[@sebeckley]

I just finished watching a video about how to eat less sugar and eating more vegetables was on the list of things to do. But no dates.

[@davidpierce4949]

Occasionally I fail to maintain water when steaming broccoli. Guests console me at the "burnt" broccoli. I pretend that I meant to do that. This is my spur-of-moment "traditional Nepalese Roasted Broccoli" with goat cheese and almonds. All of a sudden the burnt broccoli has an exotic image.

Question: I'm a dumb bish and haven't gotten myself a cast iron skillet yet, which one will be better to cook the broccoli? 1. non-stick pan 2. oven broiler Also possibly I have just found out that all cast iron skillets work on iduction cooktops, someone please confirm? lol

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

You’ve presented me with an impossible choice. Broiler will likely overcook the broccoli itself, but nonstick won’t get it as dark! I guess nonstick in this case. But babe let’s get you set up w a 10-inch Lodge asap!

[@samezuoo]

@CarlaLalliMusic123 these were exactly my thoughts, hence the question 😅 Thanks! And yes, I'm ordering a cast iron skillet asap!

[@luckybarrel7829]

I'm sorry I'm not patient enuf to make this salad. After I cook broccoli any which way I have tuff time not eating it. It just goes away so fast, it won't last until I do all dis with it. Especially charred bro that have a nice fishy taste!

[@zacr4664]

Who would ask why there is broccoli in salad?! Why wouldn't it be there? I feel those are negative voices you don't need in your life. Also I totally get you, don't use my good knives for opening packaging or my sewing scissors for anything.
