Main Ingredients
- 2kg Fresh Broccoli
- 1kg Crisp Cauliflower
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the broccoli and cauliflower under running water. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, adding a pinch of salt. Once boiling, carefully add the prepared broccoli and cauliflower. Blanch for just 1-2 minutes; overcooking will make them mushy, so be mindful of the time. Immediately drain the blanched vegetables and plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Once cooled, drain them thoroughly to remove excess water and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, and the finely ground toasted sesame seeds. Using a spatula or whisk, mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, well-blended dressing. Ensure there are no lumps. The rich nuttiness of the sesame, the creaminess of the mayonnaise, and the sweetness of the sugar will create a truly delectable dressing.
Step 3
Add the cooled and drained broccoli and cauliflower to the bowl with the prepared sesame dressing. Gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to toss too vigorously, as this could break up the florets. Once everything is well combined, your delicious Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad with Creamy Sesame Dressing is ready! Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful dish.
