How to Make It
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, thick stalks peeled and trimmed
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale
- 1 can (19 fl oz/540 ml) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup feta, broken into 1-in chunks
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divide
- 4 green onions
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves
- ⅓ cup coarsely chopped dill fronds
- Maldon salt or flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Position rack in top third of oven. Preheat the broiler on low.
- Separate broccoli into florets and cut stems into 2 ½-in lengths. Tear kale leaves into large pieces, discard thick spines. Cut each green onion into 4 pieces horizontally.
- Toss broccoli, chickpeas, feta, and lemon halves in 4 tbsp of oil on a large baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and broil, watching closely and stirring halfway through, until broccoli and feta begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and stir in kale and green onions. Broil until broccoli, feta, and chickpeas are golden-brown and kale is slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Transfer lemon halves to a cutting board when cool enough to handle. Remove seeds and squeeze lemon juice and pulp into a small bowl. Whisk in mustard and remaining 2 tbsp oil. Drizzle over the baking sheet. Toss to combine.
- Arrange salad on a large platter. Garnish with parsley and dill. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
