What to Look For When Buying “Fresh” Broccoli?

• Heads of broccoli come in vastly different sizes and weights, and the standard “bunch” or “crown” is about 1.25 to 1.5 pounds.
• The head of broccoli is the big flower portion at the end of the broccoli stalk. 
• When buying fresh broccoli, it should always be firm, tightly closed, and with dark green florets. Then you should always examine it.
• NEVER buy broccoli if it has the following:

1. any yellowing in the florets, or anywhere – this indicates it is too old.
2. feels too soft, and not firm or tight – also a sign of age, going bad.
3. if you see “black spots” anywhere – that is a sign of fungal growth manifesting as black molds and should be avoided at all times.

Ingredients needed for Best Broccoli Salad… (*Full recipe card below!)

• 1 broccoli crown (about 1 pound or more)
• a small package of shredded carrots
• stalks of celery
• green onions (aka scallions)
• raisins and roasted & salted pepitas – for some sweetness and additional salty crunch.

The yogurt dressing consists of 4 ingredients: Greek or plain yogurt, some honey, a little apple cider vinegar, and some salt. Oh and if you prefer, you can sprinkle in some black pepper, but I felt it didn’t need any.

Questions and Answers…

• Can we make this salad ahead? Yes, you can make this broccoli salad the day before, store it in a sealed container, and keep it chilled. The longer it marinates, the better the flavors will infuse. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
• Can we cook the broccoli? Although this recipe calls for raw broccoli, if you prefer to cook the broccoli, we would recommend checking out Blanching and Steaming Vegetables, steaming it very al dente, not overcooking it. The broccoli should be crisp, not mushy. Allow it to cool before combining all the ingredients.
• Why do we need to rinse and drain the shredded carrots? I prefer to rinse all veggies that come in packages. Also, the extra moisture from the wet carrots and broccoli is needed to make the yogurt dressing creamier.
