Have you ever had a salad that changes your brain chemistry? A perfect combination of texture aromas that are Allox addictive. No matter how dramatic it is, I feel about the Caesars salad on the whole day of pizza in Austin. I plan around all weekend to ensure that I get my salad solution. And I order my own, so I don’t have to share -it is just that good. With refreshing greens, crispy Bretadcrumbs, to misject Caesar dressing and tons of fresh grated cheese and herbs, my dreams are chased by the simple perfection of this salad. And because I don’t really live in Austin, I knew that I had to recreate it at home -but I threw in a turn.

I love preposition salads to have a few days with the hand, so I chop and don’t make new salad every day. So in an attempt to make one that was used fresh all week, I exchanged Greens for Broccoli. Let me tell you, this version can just give the original a run for his money. This salad comes together super fast and can be made in advance to have in the fridge for days.

Broccoli

Ingredients for this Broccoli Caesars salad

With a few simple ingredients, this salad is full of flavors and textures that make every bite so addictive.

Broccoli And much of it.

Olive oil. Always use the right stuff.

Tahini For a creamy and nutty basis for our dressing.

Miso The perfect umami taste for the dressing.

Capers. For a vegetarian Caesar I have discovered that capers add the perfect brinish taste to simulate the real work.

Lemons Zest and SAP for brightness.

Champagne vinegar. Sub with LCV if you want, but I find the mix of lemon and vinegar for the perfect sour bite.

Honey. A little sweetness helps to balance the flavors.

Black pepper. Fresh soil, and much of it.

Garlic. Thin cut and golden brown, maybe you just want to make a double party of this.

Breadcrbs. I love panko, but use what you have at hand.

Parmesan cheese. Highly piled up for the perfect bite.

Fresh herbs. I like to use chives and dill, but also think that a little coriander is a nice and fresh taste of taste.

Best Broccoli Caesars salad

How you can prepare your ingredients for the best taste

First things first, let’s chat broccoli. Don’t throw your broccoli stems away! They are edible and tasty. The most important thing is to peel them. It is the thick outer skin that makes the texture feel tough and fibrous, as long as you peel the outer layer, you will stay behind with the soft inside. Then use mandolin to cut the stem super thin. Especially for a salad, a trick like this is the perfect way to use the stems! We also roast only one head of broccoli and keep the other fresh. I love this mix of charred roasted taste and fresh crispy broccoli together to get the best of both worlds.

You can use the same pan for the garlic and bretadcrumbs. Start with the garlic by cutting it super thin. The addition of oil in the pan and keep the slices closely in the sake of reference. Yes, I have done it often. You stir the garlic slices eleven golden brown and then add the Bretadcrumbs to the same pan. I like that this adds sub of that remaining garlic flavor to the Bretadcrumbs and means that you only have to use one pan.

And as for the dressing, mix everything by hand or in a small blender. Taste and only only as you want, the dressing is super forgiving if you add a lot of jal or want spiciness with a little more lemon.

I serve this broccoli caesars salad on a large dish, highly piled with the fresh parme and projected with many of our crispy toppings.
