SuperSide Me–Tomato and Broccoli Salad With Shallot and Red Wine Vinegar Dressing

January 9, 2019 by Tonja Leave a Comment

You all know by now that no matter what I’m consuming– indulgent or healthy, I can’t skimp on flavor.  This heart-healthy 5 ingredient tomato and broccoli salad gets its zing from shallots and red-wine vinegar.  The key is putting your broccoli into a water bath so the shallots and vinegar absorb into the little florets and and make every bite delicious.  Plus– this side goes with absolutely EVERYTHING.
