Steaming the broccoli florets over the stems was a genius move!
Absolutely delicious. I just made it. Added roasted sweet potato & carrots. Toasted nuts & seeds. Absolutely heavenly
I made this recipe today, it was delicious. I love the crunch and the lemony dressing.
I made the dressing and it is a blessing, smooth and creamy and has multiple applications. I am on the AIP diet and I use avocados to replace mayo in tuna salad. Can't wait to use this dressing in my next batch!
I love broccoli stalks. Definitely the tastiest part.
A winner! This is delicious.
Oh wow, I love avocado and broccoli. I bet that's going to be a magnificent salad. I am definitely going to try it this weekend. And I bet that those cranberries and that lemon juice just makes it so delicious. Thank you for sharing, that will be my Sunday vegetable this weekend.
Looks pretty good to me
This is spectacular, considering I like all of these ingredients. What a lovely addition to a weekend supper or for guests even.
Absolutely delicious just made it now added some chicken n bacon and added cream n Parmesan cheese to my avocado amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Really loved this recipe. The avocado dressing looked wonderful.
WOW better than a maybe. It's a have to try. Thanks 😊
I'm going to try this with miso in the dressing for saltiness. Love the use of tarragon.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I can almost taste it already!
used this dressing but with macadamia nut oil instead of olive oil, on a pasta/chicken/red bell pepper / peeled apple, and onions soaked in ACV for my son who has Crohns ulcerative colitis. Had to peel the bell pepper first. Was really good as we are in summer now, and cannot have many of our usual summer foods due to his dietary restrictions. Thank you. I will make your broccoli version for myself. xxx
Loved her reaction to tasting it!! 😁😆
Definitely trying this!
OMG this is delicious, love the avocado dressing.
I like avocado.good idea .thank you.
This looks so good, will definitely make this for Sunday lunch 😋
Hello! Thanks, ATK for always inspiring me.
Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing 😊
Looks like a great salad. I like the stalks much better than the florets! I almost always use a steamer basket when doing broccoli or califlower. Oh, and thank you for showing the broccoli par-cooked! Raw broccoli is not "Good Eats".

Agreed. Raw broccoli is a little bitter.
Love this! 💜💙💚 Thanks much.
ATK, Hello, as I LOVE ALL INGREDIENTS, THIS WILL BE A MUST DO Before winter, THANKS,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes!!! Perfect timing - taking my health as a priority. 😋👌
Looks great. Paired with grilled chicken or grilled shrimp would be fabulous! Light and Lovely.
Oh my goodness, this looks so delicious.
I made this. Very easy and very good. I also took som e of the dressing and put it on some sautéd chicken thighs. That is tasty.
BTW, this avocado dressing also works on Brussel Sprout salad just as well as Broccoli salad. I tried it and it was great.
This looks amazinggggg
I will make this salad very soon.
Looks amazing!! Can't wait to try this!👽
Nice recipe... I made it tonight.
That looks delicious!
amazing
Omg 😱 yummy !!!
First of all, love the competence of soft spoked chefs. Thank you for this revised freshened up recipe. But, I am not sure I can get fresh tarragon. Minced tarragon? I've never done that.

I didn't know you could peel the stalks and make them edible. I've always frozen them to throw in a stock or soup for flavor.

I loooove broccoli salad 🥗
Will be trying this out. Instead I will be putting a little avocado oil and a good beef rub on the broccoli and searing it on the grill over some post oak. Should be a great match for the dino ribs that have been smoked for 5-6 hours.
Yay, a vegan recipe! Avocados definitely make a lovely and decadent dressing. But I’m not sold on the idea of dried cranberries though- Has anybody tasted this recipe yet?

My broccoli salad calls for raisins, which adds a nice sweetness to the salad. I would think cranberries do the same thing.

Avocados and broccoli are on sale for 99 cents at one of my local markets this week and I have bacon in the freezer (from a sale a couple weeks ago), so this may make it onto my Labor Day menu.

Sneaking? "The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook" (2015), "The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook" (2016), "Vegan for Everybody" and "Nutritious Delicious" (2017), "Cook's Illustrated Vegetables" and Mediterranean Instant Pot" (2019), "The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook" (2020), "More Mediterranean" and "Healthy and Delicious Instant Pot" (2021), "Cooking with Plant-Based Meat" and "Vegan Cooking for Two" (2022). Obviously not all entirely plant-based, but it does seem they've been at it for at least as long as this list of cookbooks indicates.

Salad Spinner!!!! Spin the broc and then put it on flour sack cloth.
I tried this and....I am somewhat disappointed. The dressing was brilliant. 10/10 would use again! But the broccoli was...flavorless. It tasted like steamed broccoli. Steaming sucks all the flavor out of broccoli. No matter how well I dry it, it still tastes watery. This salad would be 1000 times better if the broccoli was roasted first. It would also be a nice textural experience as you would get crispy bits. I will be making this salad again but, sour cherries instead of cranberries and roasted broccoli instead of steamed. Thanks for the idea!
Anybody else get an SNL Delicious Dish Vibe from this video?
Question, would that dressing work in a potato salad? Would try it without asking but i hate to waste groceries experimenting when prices are high

Will the quick blanching de-gas the broccoli? Usually, most recipes I see contain raw which is a concern for me. Thank you.
Ugh. I can’t wait to make this, even added it to my Pinterest vegan board
Where's the Bacon!!😁🥓🥓🥓🥓
Oh! This would be great with broccolini! I really prefer those over normal broccoli!
Hello American test kitchen!!
How long will the broccoli salad keep in the refrigerator? Can this be made a few hours before serving?
I bet "Elaine" (from Seinfeld) wishes this was around when she ordered her Big Salad 😋.
The comments are as good as the videos! Lots of great ideas. I think I'd use mandarin orange slices instead of cranberries.
I just want the avocado dressing
Have to eat this salad as soon as it is made. The avocado dressing turns grayish brown by the next day.
Hi I m ur new friend n new subscriber stay connected big thumbs up n ur recipe thank you for sharing
4:19 lmao
Asking for myself: I tried unseasoned avocado before, taste like green butter...need encouragement before I try this recipe...looks soooo scrumptious. Also, how long before it turns Brown because of the exposure to air?

Lemon helps avocado keep its green color.
What would be good to serve with it?
Steaming the broccoli is a superior method to boiling, I think.
Omit the sugary cranberries and use pomegranate seeds. Then the salad is ridiculously healthy. ;)
OOOH - this is a really easy one to make keto. Thanks! It looks delicious!
I love salad dressings that are made much healthier by not using heavily processed seed oils.
Can i use pure avocado oil inswtead of olive oil?
We thought there too much Lemon Juice. Next time will cut it in half to 1 1/2 TBL versus 3 TBL. Can always add more but you can't take any out...
Question to ATK(Julia/Erin), can this salad be made ahead of time?
💖👌💖👌💖
I always use a steamer basket because I heard cooking veggies in water destroys the vitamins.
ADD RAW CALIFLOWER N VIDALIA ONIONS
That woman can really toss a salad!!
I have never had a broccoli salad
Wen you done steaming the broccoli because wen you boil them you loose all the nutrients all like the idea of the avocado thank you 🌈🇦🇺🐨🦘🙏
Hellouuuu 😃😃
Looks delicious! Personally, I'd sub diced red pepper for the cranberries and add a couple strips of chopped bacon, but that's just me. 😉

As a European chef, I enjoy watching many of your programmes, most particularly for me those dealing with equipment. I must therefore take issue with a glaring omission in your range of technical assessments, one that should deal with that nightmare in every kitchen in the world. A review of cling film dispensers is long overdue isn't it, or are you frightened, like the rest of us ? Regards

Hello
what was the point of cutting up the avocado if it was just getting blended in the food processor anyway?
I would've added sun dried tomatoes instead of cranberries. Still, looks Yum!
That is not Becky. That is Erin. Please correct the description, ATK. And it's not Julia. It's Bridget.
Lost me at cranberries but the dressing looks amazing!
Got bacon bits?
