Bang Bang Roasted Broccoli Salad
My Roasted Broccoli Salad is made with crispy panko, cashews and drizzled with a healthy bang bang sauce. A crowdpleaser side and salad!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb broccoli about 2 large heads
- 3 shallots finely sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Juice of ½ a lime
- ¾ cup unsalted cashews chopped
- 1 small head of radicchio* chopped
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
Bang bang dressing:
- ¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise** optional see notes below
- 2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Juice of ½ a lime
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, add broccoli florets and shallots. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper and garlic powder and squeeze the juice of the lime. Toss to combine.
- Once coated, arrange broccoli in a single layer on the pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway to ensure both sides of the broccoli are getting roasted.
- While the broccoli is cooking, prepare your bang bang dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lime juice and sesame oil.
- Once the broccoli is done, allow it to cool slightly and add to a large salad bowl. Top with cashew, radicchio, bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the bang bang dressing and toss to combine.
Notes
* Radicchio can be left out of the salad or replaced with endive, romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce or arugula
** Mayonnaise is added to help add a creamy texture and reduce some of the bitterness of the yogurt. The mayonnaise can be replaced with additional Greek yogurt (though I recommend using 5% Greek yogurt if it is available)
