- 4 cups arugula leaves
- 2 chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

ingredients
For the Soy Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 lemon juice
Method
Step 1
Preheat the Oven and Prepare Broccoli: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Toss the broccoli florets with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 2
Char the Broccoli: Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly charred. Stir halfway through for even charring.
Step 3
Make the Soy Aioli: While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the soy aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined. Set the aioli aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 4
Assemble the Salad: Place the arugula leaves on a serving platter or in a large salad bowl. Once the broccoli is charred to your liking, let it cool slightly, and then arrange it over the bed of arugula.
Step 5
Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the soy aioli over the charred broccoli and arugula. Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top as a garnish.
Step 6
Serve: Serve with lime wedges. This dish acts as a flavorful and healthy appetizer, side dish, or a light standalone meal.
