Ingredients
- Broccoli florets: 4 cups
- Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
- Sweet chili sauce: 1/4 cup
- Rice vinegar: 2 tablespoons
- Sriracha: 1-2 teaspoons (or to taste)
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Green onions, chopped: 2
- Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and honey. Whisk until smooth and well combined. This is your bang bang sauce.
- Step 2: Add the broccoli florets and chopped green onions to the bowl with the bang bang sauce.
- Step 3: Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly with the sauce.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad.
- Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This can be served chilled.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the broccoli will soften slightly over time.
- This salad is best served cold, so skip reheating; instead, enjoy it straight from the fridge.
- Serve this vibrant salad as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or even as a flavorful topping for grain bowls.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the salad.
