Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make broccoli salad with tomatoes, cheese and egg? Very simple and fast! Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; when cut and cooked, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish. You can use any soft cheese. Curd, processed, feta cheese or brine mozzarella are suitable. I have feta. You can add or replace the vegetable part to your liking.

Step 2

Step 2
Separate broccoli into florets. Boil the cabbage in boiling salted water for about 5-10 minutes until tender. The exact time depends on the size of the inflorescences and the degree of heating. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli. If you use frozen cabbage, you do not need to defrost it first.

Step 3

Step 3
Drain the finished cabbage in a colander, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. This will keep the cabbage bright green.

Step 4

Step 4
Hard boil the eggs, cool and peel. Cut the eggs into 4 parts.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into slices.

Step 6

Step 6
Remove the cheese from the brine and dry. Then carefully cut into medium cubes.

Step 7

Step 7
Now prepare the dressing. You can supplement or replace the dressing with other ingredients to taste. For example, replace regular mustard with grainy mustard. I used olive oil, but any vegetable oil will do. If the honey is candied, melt it first.

Step 8

Step 8
In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Beat everything thoroughly with a fork until smooth.

Step 9

Step 9
Place broccoli, tomatoes, eggs and cheese in a bowl. Pour dressing over salad. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve the salad. Bon appetit!
