Garlic Broccoli Salad
Hi all! It’s Emily again, from Nap-Time Creations… I’m excited to be here today… Happy Friday!
No, those aren’t bugs in my broccoli! They are black sesame seeds and this garlic broccoli salad is SO flavorful. A mix of Asian flavors and broccoli salad, this is a favorite of mine. ย The broccoli is actually cooked al dente by the hot oil, but you eat it chilled. ย You could also serve warm over rice, but we’ve usually eaten it as a cold salad.
I’ve also made it with regular sesame seeds… the flavor is the same, I jut tried black this time to mix is up.. and I’m not sure if I like it… it looks a little buggy {ha!} This salad whips up in about 10 minutes, chill for an hour and serve up this delicious garlic broccoli salad. It’s a very flavorful and fresh salad, you won’t be disappointed!

I threw in some carrot shreds (Trader Joe's) for color. I can't wait for it to cool — the garlic ans sesame oil smell divine!
