Warm Broccoli Salad with Greek Yogurt and Toasted Almonds

5 from 1 vote
Broccoli is one of the most versatile cruciferous vegetables and one of my personal favorites, especially in cool weather. This warm salad, which requires steamed broccoli as its starting point, is simple but elegant, with toasted almonds and a tangy dressing that uses Greek yogurt. Extra virgin olive oil is what makes this a perfect Mediterranean diet recipe. I also love to use the stem, which is perfectly edible. One of the basic tenets of the Greek diet is, of course, to keep waste to a minimum, so consider this a nose-to-tail dish with one of the best Mediterranean vegetables! If you like easy Greek vegetarian recipes, you’ll love this.

  • Juice the lemon.
