Leafy greens and watery vegetables like cucumbers can’t handle being dressed and held at room temperature, but broccoli holds up like a champ. The oil and lemon juice in this recipe soften the hard crunch of the broccoli, making it an ideal base for a make-ahead side dish. And the quinoa, almonds, dates, and cheddar round out the mix with an addictive balance of flavors and textures.
