Tonight I made a version of a popular salad only found in finer restaurants. Usually it is made with fresh spinach and I had intended to use the rest of the kale in the refrigerator instead but I also had 3 small heads of broccoli that I needed to use. It turned out fantastic and I will be making this version more often.
Broccoli Strawberry Salad with Poppyseed dressing
4 c fresh broccoli flowerettes.
2 c. diced fresh strawberries
8 oz Feta cheese crumbles
Clean up the broccoli to make little flowerettes, the smaller the better. Chop fresh strawberries and mix. Add in the feta cheese and mix well. This dish will be very pretty!
Lemon Poppy Seed dressing
2/3 c olive oil
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seed
2 tsp chopped onion
1 tsp dark mustard (I often use German mustard's)
In a blender/ninja mix these ingredients until well blended. Usually I blend it an entire minute. Pour over the salad mixture and stir well. Before serving, stir again to make sure everything is coated with the dressing.
This is amazing and again you can usually find it made with fresh spinach. Maybe next time we'll add fresh spinach and create a whole new dish?
