Broccoli Crunch Salad

Crisp broccoli florets soak up a bright red wine vinaigrette laced with garlic and Italian herbs, while shallots soften just enough to mellow. Every bite delivers crunch from pistachios, pepitas, and crushed Parmesan crisps, balanced by tangy sun-dried tomatoes and a savory finish.
