I love salad, all types, from tuna to arugula nothing makes me happier then a tasty, nutritious, filling and easy-to-make salad. As much as I love greens, it is sometimes not feasible to center a salad around them. Therefor, I am ever on the quest for new salads that offer vitamins, protein, and fiber to fill you up! Here is one of my favorite non-lettuce salads that evolved from things that happened to be in the fridge.
Balsamic Broccoli Salad
1 Head of Broccoli washed, chopped into smaller bits
seeds from 1/4 Pomegranate
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts *
2/3 cup diced red onion
4 small to medium radishes sliced (optional)
Dressing
2 T Honey Mustard
1-1.5 T. Balsamic Vinegar (depending on your tastes)
1 t. canola oil (or other neutral flavored oil)
Mix all ingredients for salad. Mix dressing ingredients in a separate container, you can control the thickness and the tartness by the amount of vinegar you add. Pour dressing over your salad, toss and enjoy!
*Walnuts can be toasted by putting them in a dry pan over medium heat on the stove for a couple minutes (until they have a nice fragrance).
