Preparation

Croutons

Preheat oven to 400°F and place rack in center. Place bread pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and stir to coat bread pieces with oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Roasted Spices

In a large nonstick skillet heated over medium-high heat, roast sesame seeds and spices, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Roasted Broccoli

In the same pan, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the garlic for 1 minute. Add broccoli and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the broccoli brown for 3 minutes without stirring. Stir lightly and cook for a further 2 minutes without stirring to toast the broccoli.

Salad

In a large salad bowl, toss croutons with roasted broccoli and remaining salad ingredients.
