Broccoli Is delicious

Broccoli stalks, often overlooked or tossed in favor of the florets, take center-stage in this summer picnic salad. This slaw is inspired by the bright flavors of Thai cuisine, and uses sesame oil, lime juice, salted peanuts, scallions and a dash of hot sauce for heat. (Garnish with fresh Thai basil) Toss with tahini-lime dressing, the broccoli softens just enough to lose that raw broccoli flavor without giving up any of its satisfying crunch. Finally, this salad is best the day it’s made, though its components can be prepared in advance to save time.
