Summer Broccoli Salad With Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. Make Salad:
  2. Combine ingredients into bowl one at a time, folding the salad thoroughly for even distribtuion.
  3. Make Vinaigrette:
  4. In a large mixing bowl, begin whisking balsamic vinegar vigorously, slowly adding vegetable oil. For proper emulsion, it is best to add the oil over a period of about twn minutes of whisking. Then, slowly whisk in the olive oil and lemon juice. Whisk in brown sugar to offset the vinegar's acidity. When the dressing is blennded uniformly, whisk in the onions and tarragon, and let the flavors meld for a while.
  5. Bring it all together:
  6. Finally, filter the vinaigrette through a fine mesh seive to remove onions and tarragon. Mix the sweet dressing into salad mixture to taste (you'll probably end up using most of it).
  7. Serve right away, or chill for a few hours. Either way, results should be pretty awesome.
