Instructions

Prepare the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

Pro tip: Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.

Season the broccoli

In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Pro tip: Cut the broccoli into similar-sized florets for even cooking.

Grill the broccoli

Place the broccoli florets on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.

Pro tip: Use a grill basket to prevent the florets from falling through the grates.

Make the vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, basil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Pro tip: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Combine broccoli and vinaigrette

Transfer the grilled broccoli to a serving bowl and drizzle with the herb vinaigrette. Toss to coat evenly.

Pro tip: Let the broccoli cool slightly before adding the vinaigrette to prevent wilting.

Serve

Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.

Pro tip: Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
