How to Make Asian Broccoli Salad

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and garlic.
2. Add the shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and scallions to the bowl and toss to coat.
3. Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes). Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain a vibrant green color.
4. Drain the broccoli well and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.
5. If using, add the sliced mushrooms.
6. Gently toss everything together to combine, ensuring the broccoli is evenly coated with the dressing.
7. In a separate small bowl, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden. (about 1-2 minutes)
8. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad.
9. Serve immediately or chill for later. If chilling for more than a day, omit the mushrooms and add them just before serving.
