A delightful and healthy salad featuring steamed broccoli, fresh mushrooms, and a tangy ginger-garlic dressing.
Prepare the broccoli by cutting the florets into bite-sized pieces and slicing the stems thinly.
Use a sharp knife to ensure even cuts for uniform cooking.
Steam the broccoli until just tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the vibrant green color and crunch.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, tamari, ginger, and garlic to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine the steamed broccoli, mushrooms, grated carrot, and sliced almonds in a large bowl.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy as a side dish or light meal.
Garnish with extra almonds or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture.
