Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately place in ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Make the Dressing

Add the blanched broccoli and chicory leaves to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Combine Ingredients

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Prepare the Breadcrumbs

Transfer the dressed salad to a serving platter or bowl. Top with the crispy breadcrumb mixture and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
