Instructions
Steam broccoli over a large sauce pan of simmering water using a fitted steamer basket. Do in batches if necessary - don't over crowd steamer basket. Steam broccoli for about 90 seconds (or up to 2 minutes based on your preferences). Don't over cook the broccoli!Broccoli should be bright green and still crunchy. Drain and plunge into ice water for about 1 minute, then remove broccoli to a colander and allow to drain completely on a clean kitchen towl while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
In large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add broccoli, feta cheese, tomatoes and onion; toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to meld together. Can be made upto a day ahead.
Notes
Nutritional values are approximations only and based on 6 servings.Make-ahead so the flavours have time to come together. The onions will mellow as the salad sits.Broccoli needs to be steamed before making. See post for instructions. Blanching brightens the colour of the broccoli, makes it a bit sweeter and helps the broccoli absorb the flavours of the dressing.
