Garden Slaw Garnished With Tender Broccoli Flowers

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup sliced raw almonds, toasted
* 1 bunch mature broccoli stems, trimmed and peeled
* 2 carrots, trimmed and peeled
* 3 Tbsp light olive oil
* 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
* 3 Tbsp honey
* 3 Tbsp Greek yogurt
* 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
* 1/4 tsp kosher salt
* 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
* fresh broccoli flowers for garnish (fresh, cleaned, and stamen or pistil removed)

Directions

1. Start by toasting the almonds; put them in a small skillet, without oil, over medium heat and shake until almonds start to get golden brown.
2. Remove and set aside.
3. Make slaw by peeling the tough skin off the broccoli stems, then using the peeler, make curls out of the tender insides of the broccoli stems, and put in bowl.
4. Use the peeler to make curly slaw out of carrots, add to bowl.
5. Make dressing by whisking together the remaining ingredients until smooth; then pour the dressing over the slaw.
6. Add the toasted almonds, tossing to combine.
7. Let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times.
8. To serve, spoon portions onto individual salad plates. Top with fresh cleaned broccoli flowers for garnish and flavor. You will have enough salad for 4 to 6 people.

Story

I've always thought broccoli flowers were so pretty, it was a shame to waste them. Now you don't have to. Using unusual parts of the produce we grow is fun and adds a new dimension to old favorites.

Another way of changing a typical coleslaw up is by using peeled 'curls' of broccoli and carrots instead of shreds. This is another way to make an ordinary salad extraordinary. I hope you'll give this salad a try.
