How to Make Broccoli Salad With Peanut Dressing

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head of broccoli florets and blanch for 3 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  4. Add the drained broccoli to the peanut dressing and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds (optional).
