Fig and Sage Roasted Broccoli Salad
- Yield: 8 side servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces broccoli florets (about 14 cups)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup clean mayonnaise (like Primal Kitchen)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup chopped dried figs
- ¼ cup chopped roasted cashews
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place the broccoli florets on top. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat, then sprinkle on salt and black pepper and toss to coat again. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, stir then cook for 10-15 more minutes or until fork tender and crispy around the edges. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sage and ground fennel. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place roasted broccoli in a bowl and pour the sauce in and stir to coat. Add in dried figs and stir to combine. Season to taste again if more salt is needed.
- Top with chopped cashews!
I don’t have any sage or cashews. Can I sub another nut, and is there another spice I could use?
Hmmm you can use a different nut but the sage really makes this dish what it is! I guess you could use whatever herb you like, rosemary perhaps? But haven’t tried it any other way!
This looks so good but I have a wine allergy so I can’t have red wine vinegar. Any suggestions on substitutes?
Whatever vinegar you like works!
This is one of my family’s favorite dish. In fact I am cooking it tonight…I took it to gathering as a pot luck dish and it was devoured. Thanks so much for sharing. Namaste
That is so great to hear!!
Just wondering, does this really use 14 cups of broccoli? That seems like so much!
It sounds like a lot but that is just because broccoli is so hard to measure! Only about 2-4 florets fit in a 1 cup measuring cup!
Looks delish! Any suggestions for leaving out the mayonnaise? I have a smaller amount of broccoli and don’t want to whip up a whole batch for just a small amount
I’ve only tried it with mayo! You could do greek yogurt if you can have dairy!
