Introduction

This side dish is a great way to use the stalks of the broccoli instead of throwing them out. Carpaccio is traditionally a thinly sliced raw beef appetizer. Here thinly sliced broccoli is substituted for the beef. This side dish is a great way to use the stalks of the broccoli instead of throwing them out.

Ingredients

    Salad:
    4 cups matchstick carrots or carrot shreds
    1 cup spring greens salad mix or mixed leaf lettuce
    3 broccoli stalks, peeled and thinly sliced
    1 avocado, sliced thin
    Dressing:
    2 Tbsp. lime juice
    3 Tbsp. olive oil
    1 tsp. sugar
    1/2 tsp. kosher salt
    1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
    1 tsp. onion powder
    2 tsp. fresh, minced ginger
    1/4 tsp. chili paste or 2 dashes hot sauce
    2 Tbsp. fresh, chopped basil

Tips

You can add any vegetables you'd like - thinly sliced red onion, or matchstick jicama would make tasty variations.


Directions

To assemble salad, layer the matchstick carrots, the spring greens, the thinly sliced broccoli stalks (a mandolin works well to slice the stalks lengthwise), and top with the avocado slices.
Combine all dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Serve immediately.
