Method

Steam the broccoli florets for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp, then immediately refresh in cold water and drain thoroughly.

5mLook for: Bright green and slightly softenedFeel: Tender but still firm to the bite
02

Place the mizuna or arugula greens on a large platter or in a wide serving bowl.

03

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, salt, pepper, serrano pepper, scallions, cucumber, cilantro, red pepper strips, walnuts, and steamed broccoli.

04

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, walnut oil, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and turkey stock until the dressing is emulsified.

05

Pour the dressing over the turkey mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

06

Arrange the dressed turkey mixture on top of the greens and serve immediately.

Chef's Notes

  • If using yogurt instead of buttermilk, the dressing will be thicker; use the turkey stock or water to reach a pourable consistency.

Storage

Refrigerator: 48 hoursStore dressing separately from greens to prevent wilting.
