Chef's Notes
Pay close attention to the blanching step! If you leave the broccoli in that boiling water a single second too long, you will cross the delicate line from vibrant crunch to sad, mushy baby food.
Pro Tip
Toast your almonds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for just a few minutes until they smell nutty and divine. Do not walk away, or you will burn them and weep.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping soaking-wet broccoli straight into the dressing without drying it first, resulting in a watery tragedy that slides right off the florets and pools pathetically at the bottom of the bowl.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The Jester wonders why we must blanch the broccoli; perhaps the vegetable is simply too embarrassed by its own raw texture to be seen in polite company?
The Culinary Science
Plunging cooked vegetables into ice water triggers a process called thermal shock, which instantly stops cellular cooking and locks in that gorgeous, vibrant green chlorophyll color.
