Broccoli, apple, red onion, pine nuts, rice vinegar (1)

I came up with this recipe when I had lots of broccoli and wanted to use it in a different way. I checked the fridge to see what was there and this is what I created…try it with grilled or roasted meats of any kind, as well as burgers. It could also be a great accompaniment to a traditional quiche or frittata.

Ingredients

6 to 8 cups chopped broccoli
1 apple, skin on, cut into about one-inch pieces
about ⅛ cup thinly sliced red onion (the thinner, the better!)
about ⅛ cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

Dressing:

a little less than ¼ cup olive oil
about ½ cup rice vinegar
about ½ tsp salt
about ¼ tsp ground pepper

Directions

Toast pine nuts until golden brown, about 4 minutes in pan on the stove on medium. Watch carefully so they don’t burn. Set aside to cool
Combine broccoli, apples, onions and nuts in a serving bowl
Add oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and combine well
Let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow dressing to absorb into broccoli, especially if using raw broccoli

Variations: Use raw or lightly steamed broccoli. Use walnuts or pecans instead of pine nuts, or make it nut-free. Keeps nicely in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days
