Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 tbsp balsamic or white-wine vinegar

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or white pepper

  • 2 large heads broccoli

  • 3 small orange

  • 5 thin green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1/3 cup small black olives, optional

  • 250-mL jar roasted red peppers, or 2 sweet red peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk oil with vinegar, Dijon, salt and cayenne. Set aside or refrigerate if making a day ahead.

  • Cut broccoli florets from stalks, then break into bite-size pieces. Peel stalks, then cut into 1/2-inch (1-cm) rounds. Place 2 inches (5 cm) of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add stalks and boil gently, covered, until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Then add florets and continue cooking just until they turn bright green, about 2 more minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  • Meanwhile, peel oranges and slice into rounds. Place in a large dish. Then add broccoli, onions and olives. Drain peppers and slice into strips. Whisk dressing and drizzle over salad. Toss until evenly coated. Line a serving dish with lettuce leaves and heap salad over top. Scatter red peppers over top.

It's great to and peel your own peppers but if time is a problem, simply open a jar of roasted red peppers and enjoy.
