After consuming all of the chips and salsa in Austin, Texas, the unfortunate state of my midsection practically dictated that I be more kind to myself. So, I took a week off from drinking and dragged myself back to yoga. I’ve also been eating at home and filling up on lots of fresh vegetables. I’m feeling more balanced by the day.
I’ve never put much stock in detox diets or cleansing juice fasts, but I found myself googling “detoxifying foods” the other day. I patted myself on the back when I saw the list: greens, alliums (onions and garlic), citrus, olive oil, cruciferous vegetables (hey broccoli), beets, whole grains, etc. It was like skimming a list of all my favorite ingredients! Whole foods really are the best medicine.
This broccoli salad recipe contains quite a few of those detoxifying ingredients. Broccoli, shallot, olive oil and almonds combine with a few of my favorite Greek flavors to create a simple and utterly delicious side salad. Sun-dried tomatoes play a leading role, of course. Almonds add some crunch and play nicely with the flavor of broccoli.
Feta or kalamata olives lend a bold, salty punch, but they overpowered the other flavors once combined, so I would choose one or the other. This broccoli salad is a fun alternative to more traditional broccoli salad, given its Mediterranean flair. This broccoli salad recipe is perfect when you’re looking for a vibrant, healthy side dish that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. It also packs well for outdoor potlucks and picnics!
Greek Broccoli Salad
- Author:
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 side servings 1x
- Category: Salad
- Cuisine: Greek
This healthy broccoli salad recipe is packed with my favorite Greek flavors, including sun-dried tomatoes, feta or olives, garlic and lemon. It’s really easy to prepare and holds up well in the refrigerator, so it’s a great make-ahead side dish or potluck dish. Recipe yields about 4 side servings, so multiply if you’re feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
Broccoli salad
- 1 large bunch of broccoli (about 1 ¼ pounds), florets removed and sliced into small, bite-sized pieces
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes*
- ¼ cup chopped shallot or red onion
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese or thinly sliced kalamata olives
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized serving bowl, toss together the broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, shallot or red onion, feta or olives and almonds.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until emulsified. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well.
- For best flavor, let the salad rest for 30 minutes before serving so the broccoli has a chance to marinate in the bold, lemony dressing. (It’s great right away, too, though!)
Notes
Recipe based on my Greek salad with chickpeas and broccoli.
*Sun-dried tomatoes note: I’m partial to Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomatoes that come in a bag because they aren’t oily but they’re soft enough to eat right out of the bag. You could also use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed and patted dry. If you’re using tough, dried tomatoes, you’ll need to soak them in boiling water until they’re pliable, then pat them dry and chop them up.
Make it vegan: Use olives instead of feta and maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
Make it nut-free: Omit the almonds entirely or replace them with raw or roasted, shelled sunflower seeds.

I see that Cookie is a little broccoli stem bandit! I need these detoxifying foods too! After a cold, I ate mainly junk and toast, sooo broccoli salad will be just the ticket!
Kate
She is! I let her keep it. Hope you are all better now, Abby!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness
Those pictures of your dog? I DIE! They are SO funny!
And this salad? My taste buds fell off my face. I ADORE broccoli salad…and Greek salad, so together is such a winner! Pinned :)
lynsey | lynseylovesfood
this salad looks amazing. i have never thought of those ingredients with broccoli! love cookie with the stem… adorable. xo
Lauren @ Climbing Grier Mountain
I am always looking for ways to get my broccoli fill! This looks like the perfect salad!
Ali @ Whisk and Repeat
I love the picture of Cookie eating the broccoli stalk. I’m going to have to let my two dogs that “snack” out! :)
Kate
Haha, let me know if they like it!
Brittany W
This looks delicious! Could you do a recap post on your favorite eats/activities/etc. in Austin? My husband and I are headed there in a few weeks and I’d love some recommendations!
Kate
That is a great request! I’ll try, but if I don’t get to it in time, please email me for recommendations!
kristin | W [H] A T C H
this looks delicious! do you think it would be good with brocolli slaw instead of florets? maybe for topping a salad?
Kate
Yes, definitely!
Ellen
I’ve just been following your blog for about a week now and love every post! I’m definitely going to be making this salad soon!
Kate
Thanks, Ellen! Hope you love it!
Lauren
Mmmmm this would be a yummy side, definitely one to try!
PL
I so agree with you, Kate. Whole foods are the best medicine! Our liver is our detoxifying organ, and then it’s up to us what we put in our bodies. The liver will take care of the rest. That’s a funny picture of Cookie munching on broccoli- even the dog knows what’s good! Thank you for this recipe. Will make it for my Thursday dinner guests. We use TJ sun-dried tomatoes for the same reasons, too.
Kate
Yep, I’ve been trying to get my liver back into fighting shape. Hope you all love the salad!
Madeline | My Fitter Life
Love this :) I usually eat broccoli with almonds, chicken breast and a bit of feta. I personally wouldn’t combine broccoli with onion because it produces too much gas and I get terribly bloating :(
Jill
This sounds delicious! I love the pic of Cookie and the broccoli stem too! Made my day : )
Kate
Ha, thanks Jill! :D
Whitney @ Sweet Cayenne
Haha I LOVE that picture of Cookie and the broccoli stalk – she must be the healthiest dog on the planet!
Emily
What a great way to dress-up broccoli! Such a nice option for bringing to picnics and potlucks. (if picnic season would ever get here!!)
Susan Morrison
Oh, Cookie!! She is too cute! Did she eat that stalk? Love the sound of this recipe – definitely a keeper. Hubby should love it, too, with his favorite broccoli and sun dried tomatoes – yum!
Kate
She ate over half of that stalk before she got bored! She really will eat just about everything. Hope you both love the broccoli salad, Susan!
lisa @garlicandzest
Having just returned from eating my way across Paris, I know all about the doughy pudge that inevitably sprouts at the mid-section post vacation. I am eschewing all carbs and wine (sniff!) and sticking with lean meats and whole foods for the time being. This salad has moved to the top of my list!
Kate
No carbs?! I don’t know how you do it. I’m just back to whole grains. Jealous of your Paris trip!
Jessie | Kitschen Cat
What a perfect way to use the giant head of broccoli that’s been hanging in my fridge for the last week. Thanks!!
Becky
Label anything with Greek before it and I know I will love it! Plus broccoli salad is a food this Southern gal grew up on :) And I love all of the detox foods too!
★★★★★
Kate
Me too! Can’t get enough feta or sun-dried tomatoes, ever. Thanks as always for organizing #eatseasonal, Becky!
Amy
What a timely recipe, this matches my mood. I am so ready for green outside and not just on my plate! But I guess this will do nicely while I impatiently wait. My broccoli lovers (kids, not dogs haha) are gonna like this.
Bev
Love the salad and enjoy the pictures of Cookie
Kate
Thank you, Bev! :)
Heidi @foodiecrush
I love the med spin on what I usually see as an Asian salad. I mean, who doesn’t love feta, olives and sun dried tomatoes. My pups are all big raw veg lovers too, although zucchini was always Chewy’s favorite.
Melissa @ Bless this Mess
I lobe broccoli salad but that Greek twist is putting this over the top! If I can get to town to get some the ingredients I’ll be making this for a dinner party on Friday night. It was so fun to hear your speak at ChoppedCon last fall too. Keep up the great work lady!
Kate
Thank you, Melissa! Hope you get a chance to make this one! :)
Amy @ Thoroughly Nourished Life
I love that photo of Cookie with the broccoli stalk! What a cute little thief :)
Broccoli is my favourite vegetable, and while I’m happy eating it raw, or just steamed, this salad is a much more tempting proposition! I don’t think it will be serving four in our house though! Just two lunch servings for one hungry (in need of some post-summer waistline care) lady :)
Kate
Cookie is so ornery! I think you’ll love this salad!
Anna
I’m a huuuge fan of broccoli so I know I’ll loove this :)
Eileen
Oh man, do I ever feel you on the need for more vegetables. Yes, please! I love all the sweet and intense flavors in this salad — such a great contrast with broccoli.
Beth @ Full on Joy
Aww Cookie is the cutest! Also, I love the sunniness in your photos, makes it feel all spring-y and I love it! Thank you for an awesome fresh salad, looks like a keeper!
Kate
Thanks, Beth! I’m having so much fun with the spring light streaming through my windows.
Karen Kelly
I love your site. You can make vegetables look amazingly delish even to us meat eaters. Thanks for inspiring us to eat our veg!
Kate
Thank you, Karen! I’m always trying to make vegetables look good. :)
Maureen
Sorry if this sounds dumb… But is the broccoli raw?
Kate
Yes, it is raw!
laurasmess
Oh my gosh, that photograph of Cookie and the broccoli stalk…! Ah! So cute. Loki is also proving himself to be a little thief, he stole a mushroom that I dropped the other day and very much enjoyed munching little bits off it for half an hour. As for this broccoli salad? So gorgeous. I love cruciferous vegetables also and always feel much better after eating a nice big bowl full. My sister in law makes what I thought was the best broccoli salad with cranberries and almonds, but.. you know what? This one might top it. Can’t wait to give it a try (and to give Loki the broccoli stalk to run away with, haha!) xxx
Joanne
I would do the detox thing if it didn’t mean drinking all of my food! I love the idea of taking the recommended ingredients and turning them into real, chewable food. LIke this salad! All my favorite flavors in one bowl!
Kate
I’m SO with you on that, Joanne! I was reading about juice cleanses the other day (not that I would ever try one…) and a lot of resources said that fat and fiber are necessary for detoxification. Broccoli salad for the win!
Cassie
Ah, this looks perfect!
Heidi
Wow! This was so delicious and easy to make! I don’t think I have ever eaten so much raw broccoli in one sitting!
I’ve recently switched to a ‘almost’ completely plant based diet (per my oncologist!) and I will be adding this to my weekly rotation! Thanks for sharing!
Heidi
Kate
Thank you, Heidi! Glad to hear that you loved it. Broccoli is so good for you!
Ginger
This salad is delicious and I will be making it again and again. My dogs also loved the broccoli stalks as well.
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you, Ginger! So glad you enjoyed it.
Emma
Can’t say I’ve ever had cravings for broccoli before, but this salad did it! Tried it this weekend, but it disappeared so quickly, I’ve allready had to make a second batch. Have eaten it both as a stand alone salad, and as a side dish paired with rice and stew. Loved it!
Kate
Thank you, Emma! Delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the salad so much.
Rebecca
Excited to try this salad tonight! Where is your rug from, by the way? I love it!
Kate
Hey Rebecca! Hope you enjoyed the salad. My dad bought that rug on eBay and I got it when he got tired of it. Sorry, that’s probably not the answer you were hoping for!
Carla
Absolutely adorable! My dog loves to chew on the broccoli stalks too! Love this recipe! Another on the must try list :)
Kate
It cracks me up to watch her go to town on those broccoli stalks! Hope you enjoy this salad, Carla.
Carla
So sweet :) I’ll definitely try this because I love broccoli. As soon as I find my camera charger I would love to take a picture :)
Liren
Ok, how cute is Cookie? And how gorgeous is this salad? I would happily detox with a big bowl of this any day.
Katherine
I was just searching for your lemony lentil salad recipe that I’ve made before and I got diverted to this recipe because it looks so good. What if I combined the two recipes into one super salad? The dressing is very similar … Lentils and broccoli?
Kate
I think that would work well! Please let me know if you try. Great idea. I also have this one: https://cookieandkate.com/2013/roasted-broccoli-arugula-and-lentil-salad/
Angela
Great recipe!…the only changes: 1). out of lemons and used limes instead, 2). Made as an entree by adding tortillini. Will definitely be making again
Kate
Thank you, Angela! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Adding tortellini is a fantastic idea.
Lori
My sister makes a salad like this for the holidays, it is always a big hit.
Lauren
This was delicious and currently my favorite broccoli recipe! I used both olives AND crumbled feta.
★★★★★
Kate
Hooray! Thanks, Lauren!
Stacy
I love this salad! The first time I made it, I will say the strong lemon scent of the dressing made me nervous, but it is delicious! I’ve made it 3 or 4 times since. It’s great to make for company: it looks fancy, but is quick to make and put together ahead of time.
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you, Stacy! Glad to hear it!
Stephanie Baum
Hi Kate! Thanks for the great ideas and fantastic spice for the eyes with your photos! That Cookie is something else! I was thinking to make one big batch of this salad for two different events this Sat and Sun. How long could you leave it marinating before serving? Should I keep the second batch of dressing separate until the day of? Can’t wait to try it! Happy holiday weekend!
Kate
Hi Stephanie! I’m sorry I didn’t answer your comment in time. In case anyone else has the same question, I think you could let it marinate for 12 hours in advance (so you could make it the night before) and I think your idea to keep the second batch of dressing separate is a good one!
Stephanie
Thanks, Kate. Hope you had a nice holiday weekend! I ended up making quadruple(!) the recipe, so it was a little hard to divide enough dressing for the second batch. Seems like making a bit extra of that delicious dressing wouldn’t be bad! I did keep it separate for the second batch and I see now that at least a few hours marinating really makes a difference. Was still delicious, but the flavor is of course richer and broccoli less raw once it has sat. Now I know I have a 12 hour window for next time…
Kate
Thank you, Stephanie! That’s a lot of broccoli salad! I’m so glad it turned out well. Thank you for sharing your results with us!
Amy Beth
We’re making this for the 4th today! I just had to drag my husband to the computer to show him that another dog loves broccoli. Our dog is OBSESSED with broccoli – and everyone else thinks it’s the weirdest thing. Though she likes brussel sprouts even more because they taste like broccoli but can be batted around like a ball :)
★★★★★
Kate
I made this salad yesterday, too! Cookie tried to steal the broccoli stems from me. We have some healthy pups! :)
Tamara
It’s oppressively hot today, and I had the “bag o broccoli” from Costco. Didn’t want the “mayo-ey” salads I was seeing and just made your delicious recipe.. THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! I only made one small change.. even though too hot to cook, I blanched the broccoli for 3 min, then chilled. Your seasoning for the dressing is perfect!!! Thank you.
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you, Tamara! So glad you found my recipe!
Kurt
Great salad! I am trying to eat more vegetables and I mixed up a batch of this to take to work. I hope it hold up well for the second day.

Thanks for a fresh & delicious recipe! I just made this for dinner wih a couple of minor adjustments – I steamed broccoli for a couple of minutes so I could use the stems & used a fresh tomato as that’s all I had & it was a success, love the dressings!I’ll make this again

Hi!- I’m here for the dog. How tiny is she? Or how giant was that broccoli?? Love her! Yes I have broccoli and I’m definitely making this! Thanks!

Found your website while looking for new salad recipes here in the UK. We don’t use cups so much for measuring, so went for approximate measurements. Love, love, love this. First time using raw broccoli which was a revelation, and the dressing is new one for my repertoire! Thanks for sharing. Delicious!

Made this last night and it was amazing! My bf loved it so much he had 3rds, and he is not usually a huge salad guy. What a delicious way to eat veggies. I used pepitas instead of almonds for allergy reasons. I will 100% make this again. Thank you for all your wonderful, plant-centric recipes!

★★★★★
Kate
I’m glad you found my recipe and enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know, Jessica.
Cate
This was a very bright tasting salad and was a very popular potluck offering. The lemon dressing is a nice change from a vinegar-based dressing and really plays off the vegetables. I used half cauliflower and half brocolli as that is what the garden offered and it was very pretty. After assembling the salad ( using feta, no olives, no nuts) and it sitting for about 2 hours before serving, I thought it a bit too salty. About 1/4 tsp. of salt – or none- would probably be better as the feta and mustard both add to the salt flavor. I will be making this again.
★★★★
Jillian
What an easy and tasty recipe! Mine is resting at the moment but I snuck a bite anyway and it’s delicious!!
I have to echo everyone else in how much I love the picture of Cookie with her broccoli stalk :) Reminds me of my aunt’s dog who loved to gnaw raw carrots!
Thanks for the recipe. I’m reminded how I still need to try your kale pesto pizza…!!
Kay
Can’t wait to make this recipe. The photo of Cookie with the broccoli stalk was priceless!
Kate
She’s a ham!
Margie Spenser
Can I make the broccoli salad with frozen broccoli? My supermarket sells what they call “broccoli cuts”, which are more stems than florets. (I am one of the few people who love the stems and give away the florets.) I believe I would like this salad if I steamed the broccoli slightly and rested it on paper towels before adding the other ingredients. Another broccoli salad recipe I just read says DO NOT USE FROZEN! which scared me.
Kate
Hi Margie, I haven’t tried so I’m not entirely sure. I love the raw broccoli here but I think your plan would work!
Polly
This was super-delish and the hit of our picnic! Packed with flavor and oh-so-good for you. Thanks, Kate, for helping me elevate my cooking!

Perfect! Thanks, Kim!

My boyfriend and I have made almost all of your salads. We adapt them into 1 litre mason jars for work lunches, layering the ingredients with the sauce always at the bottom of the jar.
We rarely ate salad before discovering your blog but your salads are so filling and have made our lifestyle much healthier. Now our fridge is stocked with beautiful, healthy salads all week!
This is our absolute favourite salad out of all the ones we’ve tried :) We’ve made is so many times I can’t count! It’s amazing!
★★★★★

We have friends coming over who eat GF and dairy free, and I was just so tired of serving the same raw veggies and fruit. I started combing through your recipes, and there are so many fabulous choices! I just made this Greek broccoli salad and it’s fantastic. Thank you!
★★★★★
Kate
I try to provide gluten free and dairy free options when I can. You will find most recipes have notes on them, if not already naturally that way. Thank you for your review, Katie!
Curt Herschleb
We loved this recipe. I blanched the broccoli because my wife has a hard time digesting it raw. I just put the whole head in boiling water, turned the burner off, and let it sit for about a minute. It still had some crunch to it and was very easy to cut into bite sized pieces. I’m going to make it with cauliflower and red bell pepper in addition to broccoli next time. Thanks!
★★★★★
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Curt! I’m glad you were able to enjoy it. I really appreciate your review.
Danae Alig
I had to laugh at Cookie and the broccoli stalk. I have a German Short Hair and I toss him raw veges all the time to keep him occupied while I cook. I’ll be glad when it’s summer and he can go out in the garden and pick his own! Looking forward to making this salad.
Kate
Cookie would adore living in a garden with unlimited access to carrots and vegetable scraps! Do let me know how it turns out for you, Danae. Thanks for the comment!
Gianna Carini
This was sooooooooo incredible! I changed a few things: I used olives instead of feta, regular/dry sundried tomatoes (not in olive oil), and I added genmai miso and butternut squash hummus (from my local farmer’s market) to my dressing, as well as juice from a full lemon. I omitted the olive oil, as it was not needed with the hummus that already had some. This dressing was drinkable! And the bowl of deliciousness was just that… delish! Thank you for inspiring another great meal, Kate. <3

Kate
Thanks for sharing, Gianna! I appreciate your comemnt and review.

I might blanch the broccoli. I love the bright green color, while keeping the crunch. Maybe I’ll add some sunflower seeds. I hate reviews when the reviewer had altered the original recipe, but I’m giving this 5 stars, because it’s just amazing. Please forgive me for my suggested alterations.

Believe it or not I brought this to a Thanksgiving pot luck with some really stellar cooks. I was a little embarrassed putting it out because I’m not known for cooking skills. Guess what? THEY LOVED IT. With about 40 people in attendance, I heard at least three talk about the broccoli salad. We brought out the leftovers the next day and my greek broccoli salad was nowhere to be found! Tip: make the night before so the dressing has more time to meld with the broccoli.
