We love a warm salad, and this one is no exception. Broccoli stays crunchy yet tender in the microwave, and a simple dressing and sprinkle of sesame seeds brings it to the next level.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Serving suggestions & tips

- When cooled, this salad makes a nice side dish for a picnic.

Recipe notes
- If using frozen broccoli, add it to the Anyday still frozen and cook for the same amount of time.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
