Broccoli Raisin Salad
Description
Broccoli Raisin Salad features freshly roasted broccoli florets and diced red onion tossed with a mustard vinaigrette made from olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. The broccoli is roasted at 400°F until tender but not mushy, imparting a slightly caramelized flavor. Raisins add a sweet contrast, while slivered almonds provide a crunchy texture. The salad is lightly spiced with red chili flakes and salt. It can be prepared in advance by assembling the broccoli and onion mixture and adding the dressing just before serving to maintain freshness and crispness. The combination of roasted vegetables and the vinaigrette creates a bright and varied flavor profile suitable for side dishes or packed lunches.
