Ingredients

• 500 g Broccoli florets
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 l Water
• 10 pieces Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 1 liter of water and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Prepare a large bowl of ice water for blanching the broccoli.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets if not already prepared. Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 3

Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water using a slotted spoon or strainer and transfer it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let the broccoli cool for 2 minutes, then drain well and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.

Step 5

Place the cooled and drained broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the broccoli and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the broccoli for a fresh garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a warm dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes if you prefer it cold. Enjoy your Broccoli Vinaigrette Numero Uno!
