Broccoli Green Bean Salad With Mustard Dressing
A crisp, fresh and vibrant salad, this is an excellent side dish for a heavier meal. It's simple to throw together and tossed in a punchy, mustard-heavy dressing that pairs excellently with the fresh veggies. This salad also just keeps getting better in the fridge, so it's a great make-ahead dish.
Ingredients
- 30 g (¼ cup) slivered almonds
- 200 g (2 cups) broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces
- 200 g (½ cup) green beans trimmed and cut into 4cm (1.5in) pieces
- 3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 shallot very finely diced
- 80 ml (⅔ cup) neutral oil such as sunflower, canola or avocado
- 80 g (½ cup) cheddar cheese cut into 5mm (¼in) cubes
- 50 g (¼ cup) sultanas/golden raisins
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 10 g (2 tbsp) flat-leaf parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Add the almonds to a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 4-5 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil. Fill a large bowl with 1:1 ice and water. Add the broccoli and green beans to the pot and cook for 90 seconds. Drain and add immediately to the ice bath to halt the cooking. Set aside while making the dressing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, both mustards, the garlic and shallot. Season generously with black pepper.
- Whisking constantly, slowly stream in the oil until it is entirely incorporated and the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
- Drain the broccoli and green beans and add them to a large mixing bowl. Add the toasted almonds, cheese, sultanas, onion and parsley. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
