Caesar-Style Broccoli Salad
Description: Inspired by one of the most famous salads – the Caesar – we’ve added tenderstem for some extra veg and simplified the dressing so it's quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 400g Tenderstem Broccoli
- 2 Romaine Lettuce
- 114g Pitta Bread
- 1tsp Dried Oregano
- 50g Parmesan
- 60g Mayonnaise
- 1tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 Lemon
- 30g Parmesan
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to fan 200°C.
- Finely slice the bottom third of the Tenderstem broccoli stems and set aside. Put the top two-thirds onto a large baking sheet or roasting tin, drizzle with a little olive oil, season and roast for 15-20 mins, until charred in places.
- Meanwhile, tear or cut the flatbreads into rough triangles, add to a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with the oregano, season with salt and toss together before baking for 15 mins until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool down.
- Make the dressing by whisking the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon together into a bowl. Finely grate 30g of Parmesan into the dressing, mix together, taste, and season well. Add a splash of water to loosen it a little, if needed.
- Trim the romaine and separate the leaves, add them into a large bowl. If your romaine lettuce is particularly large, you can either shred it or roughly chop it.
- Tip the croutons into the bowl, then use a peeler to shave most of the 50g of parmesan directly into the bowl. Add the finely sliced broccoli stems and the dressing. Give everything a toss, taste and season with a little extra lemon juice if needed! Tip into bowls or a platter, top with the charred broccoli, then finish with an extra shaving of parmesan and a fresh crack of black pepper. Serve the remaining lemon wedge on the side.
