Broccoli Chickpea Salad with Yogurt Dressing

Preparation

1
Wash and chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets.
2
Steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Alternatively, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and preserve color. Drain well.
3
While the broccoli cooks, drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
5
In a large bowl, combine the steamed broccoli and rinsed chickpeas. Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
6
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for flavors to meld.
