This Roasted Broccoli Salad is truly a game-changer! The combination of zesty lemon, crispy bacon, tangy feta, and, of course, the star of the show – roasted broccoli, make it a hero meal in every sense!
Let me tell you why this roasted broccoli salad has won my heart:
It might just be the best way I’ve ever enjoyed broccoli!
My dear friend Liz introduced me to this gem, passed down from another food-loving friend, Amanda. Isn’t that just the beauty of great recipes? They travel from one food enthusiast to another until they reach your screen, waiting for you to savor every bite in record time.
The ingredients may seem simple, but together they create a symphony of flavors:
- shallot
- bacon
- feta
- lemon
- broccoli
- sourdough
Add some olive oil, salt, pepper, and you’re ready to embark on a delightful roasted broccoli adventure.
This Has Everything You Could Want In a Salad
The flavors in this dish encompass everything I crave in a meal: tangy, crunchy, slightly bitter with a burst of lemon zest, salty from the crispy bacon, all centered around the magnificent roasted broccoli, a true hero in its own right.
Reasons why I adore this as an SOS meal:
- It’s incredibly tasty. Good food equals a good mood. Instant mood lifter.
- Hands-on preparation is minimal. Most of the magic happens on a sheet pan, giving you ample time to be anywhere but the kitchen.
- Highly customizable. Want to beef it up? Add some rotisserie chicken or more roasted veggies.
- Leftovers hold up beautifully. Just keep those croutons separate to maintain their crunch. This salad can be enjoyed hot, cold, or at room temperature – I know it sounds strange, but I’ve even had these leftovers for breakfast. Riding the SOS train till the very last stop.
As I pen this down, a sheet pan loaded with broccoli, bacon, and shallots is sizzling in my oven.
The aroma wafting through my home is divine, and I’ll be indulging in this soon. It’s a glorious day indeed.
