How to Make Broccoli Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

[@kimberlymartin7640]

I made this recipe today, it was delicious. I love the crunch and the lemony dressing.

[@diedradonivan2423]

I made the dressing and it is a blessing, smooth and creamy and has multiple applications. I am on the AIP diet and I use avocados to replace mayo in tuna salad. Can't wait to use this dressing in my next batch!

[@narinanarina8264]

Absolutely delicious. I just made it. Added roasted sweet potato & carrots. Toasted nuts & seeds. Absolutely heavenly

[@JerryGDawg56]

I love broccoli stalks. Definitely the tastiest part.

[@nicosonoro]

Steaming the broccoli florets over the stems was a genius move!

[@sandrasimeon7241]

Absolutely delicious just made it now added some chicken n bacon and added cream n Parmesan cheese to my avocado amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@christistaggs7190]

Oh wow, I love avocado and broccoli. I bet that's going to be a magnificent salad. I am definitely going to try it this weekend. And I bet that those cranberries and that lemon juice just makes it so delicious. Thank you for sharing, that will be my Sunday vegetable this weekend.

[@sociopathmercenary]

One of our local restaurants makes an awesome broccoli salad and we've been trying to deconstruct it. Broccoli chopped into small bits. Sunflower seeds Apple cider vinegar A little sugar A little mayonnaise Perhaps a little lemon juice I thought about adding some diced strawberries. It's really a nice slightly sweet slightly tangy summer salad

[@philippapay4352]

This is spectacular, considering I like all of these ingredients. What a lovely addition to a weekend supper or for guests even.

[@itsmyparty4637]

used this dressing but with macadamia nut oil instead of olive oil, on a pasta/chicken/red bell pepper / peeled apple, and onions soaked in ACV for my son who has Crohns ulcerative colitis. Had to peel the bell pepper first. Was really good as we are in summer now, and cannot have many of our usual summer foods due to his dietary restrictions. Thank you. I will make your broccoli version for myself. xxx

[@karengrace2650]

A winner! This is delicious.

[@Spicydoc1]

Hello! Thanks, ATK for always inspiring me.

[@kimberleegullbailey2547]

Looks great. Paired with grilled chicken or grilled shrimp would be fabulous! Light and Lovely.

[@flybyairplane3528]

ATK, Hello, as I LOVE ALL INGREDIENTS, THIS WILL BE A MUST DO Before winter, THANKS,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jrkorman]

Looks like a great salad. I like the stalks much better than the florets! I almost always use a steamer basket when doing broccoli or califlower. Oh, and thank you for showing the broccoli par-cooked! Raw broccoli is not "Good Eats".

[@larrybud]

Agreed. Raw broccoli is a little bitter.

[@Julierue]

Love this! Love how you all are sneaking your way into the plant-based world 😘😘. Thanks for all the great work you do!

[@tyghe_bright]

I'm going to try this with miso in the dressing for saltiness. Love the use of tarragon.

[@susanuribe5479]

Yes!!! Perfect timing - taking my health as a priority. 😋👌

[@katc9685]

I can really appreciate Erin's professional and dignified demeanor with Bridget respecting and rolling with it. Interesting alternative to the usual mayo.

[@utterlynice1]

Loved her reaction to tasting it!! 😁😆

[@jasonkelley537]

Looks pretty good to me

[@sallymaldonado7947]

WOW better than a maybe. It's a have to try. Thanks 😊

[@wam0357]

First of all, love the competence of soft spoked chefs. Thank you for this revised freshened up recipe. But, I am not sure I can get fresh tarragon. Minced tarragon? I've never done that.

[@carlabridgesmason3529]

I agree, the calm demeanor and soft voices are a pleasant change from the usual we see on tv.

[@melaniebrantner6844]

OMG this is delicious, love the avocado dressing.

[@autumn_in_myheart]

I like avocado.good idea .thank you.

[@veronicaBolanos-mc4fc]

Really loved this recipe. The avocado dressing looked wonderful.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Love this! 💜💙💚 Thanks much.

[@rbm0307]

BTW, this avocado dressing also works on Brussel Sprout salad just as well as Broccoli salad. I tried it and it was great.

[@JWAChicago]

I made this. Very easy and very good. I also took som e of the dressing and put it on some sautéd chicken thighs. That is tasty.

[@anahitturikyan]

Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing 😊

[@aaronthered4126]

Will be trying this out. Instead I will be putting a little avocado oil and a good beef rub on the broccoli and searing it on the grill over some post oak. Should be a great match for the dino ribs that have been smoked for 5-6 hours.

[@milesparris4045]

I didn't know you could peel the stalks and make them edible. I've always frozen them to throw in a stock or soup for flavor.

[@anamariaguadayol2335]

Me too

[@treasurechest2951]

I’ve even seen people make chips out of them in the air fryer. Theyre sticks but crunchy and looks delicious.

[@jamieshelton8965]

Nice recipe... I made it tonight.

[@stevenreichertart]

Yay, a vegan recipe! Avocados definitely make a lovely and decadent dressing. But I’m not sold on the idea of dried cranberries though- Has anybody tasted this recipe yet?

[@bonnieantonini]

My broccoli salad calls for raisins, which adds a nice sweetness to the salad. I would think cranberries do the same thing.

[@keonwookoo]

you probably could just leave them out.

[@perrywalton2464]

@@keonwookoo exactly. Some people get so hung up on these recipe ingredients. Make it to your taste. Smh.

Greetings ATK Thank you 🥦🥑 Salutations from California 😋

[@hellboundTX333]

Im going to try this, but with jalapeno slices and red pepper flakes instead of the fruit and nuts!

[@bonnieantonini]

And maybe lime juice instead of lemon!

[@jesuispain]

More Becky please.

[@marilynhamilton5374]

That looks delicious!

[@brianjennings7644]

that looks like what I'm fixing with my fried Crappie tonight..yep..Thanks.

[@irian42]

Oh! This would be great with broccolini! I really prefer those over normal broccoli!

[@deecee9561]

Question, would that dressing work in a potato salad? Would try it without asking but i hate to waste groceries experimenting when prices are high

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

I bet it would be good if you roasted the potatoes instead of boiling them. I might try it this weekend, if I do I'll report back.

[@deecee9561]

@@getoffmydarnlawn Thank You

[@jjsmith3302]

Looks delicious! Personally, I'd sub diced red pepper for the cranberries and add a couple strips of chopped bacon, but that's just me. 😉

[@pittsburgh-gal]

😄😄I said the same about bacon😁🥓 I also would skip the cranberries and nuts. I'd like red onion!! 😁

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

To each their own, but I'm with you on your entire comment -- I'm not so hot on dried cranberries.

[@trueblue15]

Asking for myself: I tried unseasoned avocado before, taste like green butter...need encouragement before I try this recipe...looks soooo scrumptious. Also, how long before it turns Brown because of the exposure to air?

[@FutureCommentary1]

Lemon helps avocado keep its green color.

[@proudamerican4050]

Peeling the stalks? Duh 🙈 What a genius move. I've always ended up overcooking because of this. Great tip ❤

[@purplezebralemon]

You can peel celery too! Get rid of those horrid stringy bits!

[@myrnahuichapan7624]

Will the quick blanching de-gas the broccoli? Usually, most recipes I see contain raw which is a concern for me. Thank you.

[@Strands7]

How long will the broccoli salad keep in the refrigerator? Can this be made a few hours before serving?

[@annecaru9208]

I love salad dressings that are made much healthier by not using heavily processed seed oils.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Salad Spinner!!!! Spin the broc and then put it on flour sack cloth.

[@andiincali.4663]

The comments are as good as the videos! Lots of great ideas. I think I'd use mandarin orange slices instead of cranberries.

[@robertbarnier45]

I want that salad

[@rich4501]

Anybody else get an SNL Delicious Dish Vibe from this video?

[@KitarraChaosWeaver]

I tried this and....I am somewhat disappointed. The dressing was brilliant. 10/10 would use again! But the broccoli was...flavorless. It tasted like steamed broccoli. Steaming sucks all the flavor out of broccoli. No matter how well I dry it, it still tastes watery. This salad would be 1000 times better if the broccoli was roasted first. It would also be a nice textural experience as you would get crispy bits. I will be making this salad again but, sour cherries instead of cranberries and roasted broccoli instead of steamed. Thanks for the idea!

[@yvonnecamacho7887]

What would be good to serve with it?

[@alanford7443]

Can i use pure avocado oil inswtead of olive oil?

[@zafranikitchen634]

Hi I m ur new friend n new subscriber stay connected big thumbs up n ur recipe thank you for sharing

[@alexanderpons9246]

Question to ATK(Julia/Erin), can this salad be made ahead of time?

[@francesfisher795]

I bet "Elaine" (from Seinfeld) wishes this was around when she ordered her Big Salad 😋.

[@sbpierce9987]

Steaming the broccoli is a superior method to boiling, I think.

[@julescarlson434]

Have to eat this salad as soon as it is made. The avocado dressing turns grayish brown by the next day.

[@MarionMM]

Omit the sugary cranberries and use pomegranate seeds. Then the salad is ridiculously healthy. ;)

[@sampayne3576]

That woman can really toss a salad!!

[@Joseph1NJ]

I would've added sun dried tomatoes instead of cranberries. Still, looks Yum!

[@kaycrockett542]

ADD RAW CALIFLOWER N VIDALIA ONIONS

[@wallybrau]

We thought there too much Lemon Juice. Next time will cut it in half to 1 1/2 TBL versus 3 TBL. Can always add more but you can't take any out...

[@SugarDemon1035]

Wen you done steaming the broccoli because wen you boil them you loose all the nutrients all like the idea of the avocado thank you 🌈🇦🇺🐨🦘🙏

[@theophano]

I always use a steamer basket because I heard cooking veggies in water destroys the vitamins.

[@ourfarmhouseinspain]

As a European chef, I enjoy watching many of your programmes, most particularly for me those dealing with equipment. I must therefore take issue with a glaring omission in your range of technical assessments, one that should deal with that nightmare in every kitchen in the world. A review of cling film dispensers is long overdue isn't it, or are you frightened, like the rest of us ? Regards

[@sweingold5686]

Costco sells a model with a tab that cuts the clingwrap. For me, it eliminates the sharp metal edge that always scrapes me.

[@ourfarmhouseinspain]

@@sweingold5686 Thank you for your suggestion, but I live in southern Spain these days and haven't even seen a Costco in years. There can't be many products which cause so much frustration in kitchens right around the world, can there ? Regards

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

Avocados and broccoli are on sale for 99 cents at one of my local markets this week and I have bacon in the freezer (from a sale a couple weeks ago), so this may make it onto my Labor Day menu.

[@proudamerican4050]

I immediately thought of bacon too. Drooling! Let me know how yours turns out 👍

[@daniel6678]

what was the point of cutting up the avocado if it was just getting blended in the food processor anyway?

[@ZENLADYHila]

From a nutritional point of view you don’t need to boil the broccoli because it loses all its nutritional benefits. The Salt added to the water destroys the beneficial enzymes. Better steam for 3-5 minutes lightly or use the broccoli raw. Adding little oil to any sort of base such as homemade raw / vegan mayonnaise or in your case avocado will soften the broccoli and make it delicious crunchy.

[@PhillipOliver]

Thanks, I was wondering why not do the broccoli raw?
