Shaved broccoli stalk salad with soft feta & golden raisins
Indulge in the refreshing flavors of shaved broccoli stalk salad paired with creamy feta cheese and sweet golden raisins. Perfect balance of textures and tastes!
Ingredients:
- 2 bunches broccoli with leaves, washed
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Zest from 1 lemon plus the juice from half
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup French feta (or regular crumbled feta)
- 1/3 cup Marcona almonds
- Salt (I use kosher)
- Black pepper
Instructions:
- Remove all the leaves from the broccoli stems and cut the florets. Place both in a bowl.
- Halve the stalks and use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin. Get rid of the skin. Use the peeler to thinly slice along the halved stalks. Use a paper towel to gently press and remove any extra liquid.
- Put the sliced stalks, florets, and leaves in a big mixing bowl. Mix in the olive oil, lemon zest, juice, raisins, feta, and nuts. Toss gently. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter or large serving bowl.
- Enjoy right away or refrigerate (can be prepared a few hours in advance).
