Thai Broccoli Salad

Written By: Chris - Jun• 12•12

My friend Eileen has brought over a Broccoli salad a couple of times which includes a firm Tofu – that I just love!  Recently, I was hungry for it and happen to have a lot of Broccoli on hand, so I thought I would give my version of the salad a try.   Since I do not typically buy or eat Tofu and did not wish to go out to get some, I decided to omit it from my recipe.  I do however really like it in her version that she picks up from Byerly’s or Lunds grocery store herunterladen.

I’m very pleased with how this dish turned out, but might increase the volume of dressing the next time.

Ingredients:

6 Cups of Broccoli florets
2 Carrots
1/2 Cup Red Pepper
1/2 Red Onion

Dressing Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
2 Tablespoons Dark Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon Hot Water
1 Tablespoon Sweet Red Chili Paste
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tablespoons Splenda
1/3 Cup chunky Peanut Butter
1 Garlic clove, smashed

Start by blanching the chopped broccoli in boiling water for about 2 minutes until tender, but still crisp.   Reserve the hot water by scooping out vegetables with a slotted spoon and place into a colander under gently running cold water to stop the cooking process dateien von wetransfer herunterladen.
