Steps:
- Mince the garlic with a garlic press or a high-quality chef's knife.
- Measure all the other ingredients and add everything to your blender or food processor. With variable speed units, start with a low speed and then gradually increase it to a higher speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
- If you don't have a blender or a food processor, simply add all the ingredients to a jar with a twist off lid or even a bowl and just shake or whisk until everything's well-mixed.
- Use the dressing on a salad or as a marinade for other dishes. Transfer any leftover dressing to an airtight sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 10 days.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH SWEET VINAIGRETTE
If you can coordinate making this salad a day in advance, it's well worth trying to do so. Though it's good immediately, by the next day, the flavors meld so nicely, you're likely to swear that this is as special as any full fat broccoli salad. I found this recipe in The Biggest Loser Cookbook. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GARLIC AND SESAME
This salad is made from uncooked broccoli tossed with an assertive garlic, sesame, chile and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid "cooks" the florets a little as ceviche does fish. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing. You'll be making this one again.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the vinegar and salt. Add broccoli and toss to combine.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in sesame oil and pepper flakes. Pour mixture over broccoli and toss well. Let sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature, and up to 48 (chill it if you want to keep it for more than 2 hours). Adjust seasonings (it may need more salt) and serve.
