Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli and cook until almost tender (about 5-6 minutes) then drain but do not rinse to cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk the dressing ingredients until emulsified.
- Toss the warm broccoli with the dressing and lemon zest until well combined. Taste test and season well with salt. If needed, add more lemon juice or hot pepper flakes. Let the broccoli salad sit in the fridge for 1 hour to adequately absorb the dressing. If possible, refrigerate overnight since the flavors will be stronger. Enjoy!
Notes
- Wait a minimum of 1 hour before eating to let the flavors absorb into the broccoli but the salad is best refrigerated and served the next day.
- Leftovers can be saved in the fridge for up to 3 days.
