Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cut broccoli into large florets. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the dressing by whisking together oil, vinegar, 1 tsp. sugar or honey and BASIL. Add chopped onion and tomato and cubed cheese (if using). Toss to coat and set aside. Add the broccoli to the boiling water, cook 2 minutes, no more. Drain, rinse very briefly, return to the hot pot and put the lid on. Dry the broccoli at least 1 minute. If the floret tops are holding water when added to the salad, the dressing will be watery. Place warm broccoli in a large serving bowl. Shake SHALLOT SALT on top, toss to coat. Pour on dressing, toss again. Taste, add extra sugar or honey as desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
