Ingredients

Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, then season with kosher salt. Add the trimmed broccoli rabe, then cook. While it’s cooking, prepare an ice bath. Place cold water and ice in a large bowl. Cool.

Blanch the broccoli rabe

1

In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, Dijon, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk well. Stir in chopped shallot.

Make the dressing

2

Drain the broccoli rabe, squeezing out as much water as possible, then transfer it to a cutting board. Chop into 1-2-inch pieces. Using your hands, tear the mozzarella into small bite-size pieces, then add directly to the bowl. Add chopped roasted red peppers.

Assemble the salad

3

Squeeze half of a lemon on top, then pour on the dressing. Give the salad a good toss, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. I like to transfer to a large serving bowl before sprinkling with flaky sea salt. Enjoy hot or room temperature!

Dress the salad
