ROASTED BROCCOLI AND GRAPE SALAD
Steps:
- For the salad: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the broccoli florets and red onion with the olive oil and a couple pinches of salt and spread out on a sheet pan. Roast until browned and crisp, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the raisins and sherry vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and allow the raisins to plump for 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the dressing: Combine the mayo, milk, sugar, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a bunch of black pepper in a large bowl.
- For the salad: Add the broccoli mixture to the dressing along with the grapes and celery. Drain the raisins, then add those. Fold everything together until combined, then taste and adjust seasoning. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate. Top with the almonds right before serving.
BROCCOLI AND GRAPE-TOMATO SALAD
Most Junior League cookbooks have at least Broccoli Salads I and II, and often III and IV. It's the diplomatic way of not having to decide whose version is best. The amusing part is they are all, in essence, the same salad and contain, besides broccoli (and mayonnaise, of course), red onion, bacon, and often raisins. Really racy ones with a modern twist might also contain crushed ramen noodles. This salad is colorful and satisfying in a very simple way. To really make the flavors and colors pop, it is imperative to blanch and shock the broccoli. Otherwise, it is like grazing in the produce bin.

Steps:
- Line two plates with paper towels. Prepare an ice-water bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
- In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to one of the prepared plates to drain. Set aside.
- To prepare the broccoli, separate the head into bite-size florets, reserving the stems for another use. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the florets until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice-water bath to set the color and stop the cooking. Once chilled, transfer to the second prepared plate and pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine the broccoli, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- To prepare the dressing, whisk the vinegar and garlic together in a small bowl. Add the oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly, until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine and coat. Add the bacon, and taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.

BROCCOLI, GRAPE AND CHICKPEA SALAD
I knew I would love this salad when I first saw it on a Canadian cooking show, and I did. I've since tweaked it to add some red onion for a bit of bite. I love the fresh flavours of this recipe. It makes a great side dish or a lunch to go. Adapted from Ricardo.
