Ingredients

Kosher salt
4 bunches broccolini (1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup good olive oil
11/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon

Directions

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccolini stems. If some stems are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. When the water comes to a full boil, add the broccolini, return to a boil, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Pour enough dressing over the broccolini to moisten and toss well. Splash with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm or hot.

Good, but...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

FYI, the combination of the mustard and the lemon juice made this too sour, so I had to add a bit more balsamic vinegar for... my taste. Also, the original was a bit too oily, so the extra baslamic made it just right. I would say I doubled the amount of balsamic vinegar. Read more

My toddlers loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the adults. I made their broccolini with butter and salt. They didn't like it so I gave them some of the... dressing and they loved it! I am making a second helping of broccolini for my 4 year old right now.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It's very good ! 1- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt or sea salt is too much. 1- teaspoon will be just fine. I will aways make... again. Very flavorfulRead more

Made this twice and will continue to make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best recipe for broccolini out there. I LOVE it. Great taste!! I cooked my broccolini slightly longer than the... recipe because I like it with less bite. I don't find this recipe bitter or too salty at all. Very flavorful.Read more

Simple and delicious and not salty at all!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

How could this recipe be too salty? Are you using table salt? If so, then there's the problem! Kosher salt is the key to... use, here, folks! Do you season a little and then taste? I don't like over salted food, either. Switch to kosher salt (or sea salt), and you'll learn what I finally did. It makes ALL the difference in the world. As for the recipe-- I love broccolini and balsamic...so how can Ina go wrong. Delish, as always. Again.. go easy on the seasoning, and taste. Adjust it till it's where you like it. Read more
