Broccoli and White Bean Caesar

Broccoli and White Bean Caesar
Rachel Vanni for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Spencer Richards.

Recipe by Kristina Felix | Total time: 30 minutes

With components of both panzanella and Caesar salad, this meal gets extra heft from charred broccoli and a couple cans of white beans. The beans do double duty here: Some of them get smashed into a creamy, lemony, and anchovy-rich Caesar dressing, made right in the serving bowl, while others are tossed with broccoli and bread cubes that roast together in the oven until golden, charred and crunchy. This is a salad for people who think they don’t like salads.
