Ingredients
- 1-½ pounds fresh broccoli
- 3 cups cubed new potatoes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ pint cherry tomatoes halved
Vinaigrette ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 green onions or scallions minced
- 1 clove garlic minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Add about a teaspoon of salt to the water. Turn the burner on to medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, which should take about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Cut broccoli into bite-size florets and steam (see notes below for how to steam broccoli using a microwave or a pan on the stove) until tender-crisp.
- To prepare the vinaigrette, combine the olive oil, vinegar, onions, garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and hot sauce in a mason jar and shake well.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes while they are still warm and mix well. Add the broccoli and cherry tomatoes and toss gently.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. When ready to serve, garnish with the chopped basil. Enjoy!
- *Leftovers should be covered and refrigerated as soon as possible. They should keep in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 days.
Notes
To steam broccoli in a microwave, place the broccoli florets and stems in a microwave-safe dish and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of water over top. Cover with a dinner plate and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove the plate carefully and check to see if the broccoli is tender. It should be bright green and still crisp. It's better to under-cook than overcook it. Microwave for additional 1-minute increments if necessary.
To steam broccoli on your stove, fill a medium-size saucepan with a few inches of water and insert a steamer basket. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a metal colander. Be sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer basket. Bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stems and cover. Steam for 4 minutes or until tender but still crisp and bright green. Don't overcook.
