Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I was thinking of making this for 4th of July as I have broccoli to use up. It's a great quick lunch as well as a side dish, great hot weather dish, served nice and cold. I like to take it to family potlucks, as then I can be sure there's something balanced for me to eat. GREAT NORTHERN & BROCCOLI SALAD 1/2 lb great northern beans, cooked (or 2 cans rinsed well and drained) 3 cups broccoli florets, steamed till crisp-tender 1 medium bell pepper, chopped 1-2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1 medium red onion, chopped 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 recipe Tomato Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe below) Mix all together in bowl and refrigerate, but best not to dress until just before serving, as broccoli will wilt/turn yellowish. Tomato Balsamic Vinaigrette 1/3 cup olive oil 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1 tsp dijon mustard 1-2 garlic cloves, put thru press 2 tsp fresh basil, minced, or 1/2 tsp dry Whisk all together in bowl and refrigerate until serving time, to let flavors blend.
