1
Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan, add the blanched almonds, and toast, shaking often, until golden and popping. Remove from the pan and let cool (they'll crisp up further as they cool).
2
Make the dressing: combine the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard in a bowl, then stir in the sumac, ground coriander, Urfa biber (or red pepper flakes), salt, and black pepper.
3
While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil and continue whisking until the dressing turns creamy and smooth. Stir in the lemon juice, then set the dressing aside.
4
Cut the washed broccoli into small florets, halve and slice the carrots into thin batons, and thinly slice the onion.
5
Remove the pits from the Medjool dates, then chop the dates into small pieces.
6
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli with the carrots, onion, and chopped dates. Pour over the yogurt dressing and toss thoroughly (using your hands works well) until every floret is well coated.
7
The salad can be served right away, but for best results, let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the broccoli can soak up the dressing's flavor.
8
Just before serving, sprinkle on the toasted almonds and enjoy.
