Easy Peasy 8-Ingredient Broccoli Salad

1. Let’s blanch the broccoli first. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets in boiling water, cook for about 2 minutes and remove from heat. Drain and pour into a bowl with ice water to cool down. Set aside.

2. For the dressing, in a small mixing bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, sliced fresh basil, honey, salt and pepper. (I suggest using a Mason jar, or a container with lid. So you can simply cover and shake to combined.)

3. In a larger salad bowl, add in cabbage, carrots, cooled broccoli, and toss with dressing. It tastes great served room temperature or cold! Garnish with pine nuts.
