Ready in
45 minsServing size
Serves 4 – 6Ingredients
- Dressing
- 100 ml low-fat milk
- 100 ml water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tsp (20 ml) lemon juice
- 2 tsp (10 ml) cornflour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) wholegrain mustard
- ¼ tsp (1,2 ml) salt
- lemon juice and black pepper to taste
- Salad
- 300 g broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 red or green apple with the skin, cut into thin wedges
- 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sunflower seeds, toasted (see tip)
Method
- Dressing: Mix half the milk and the rest of the ingredients until well combined, without any lumps.
- Pour mixture into a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over a low heat, while stirring continuously. The sauce will start to thicken after 2-3 minutes, but don’t let it boil too fast.
- Season with more lemon juice and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce into a bowl, stir in remaining milk and allow to cool.
- Salad: Place broccoli in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 10-12 minutes or until bright green and still crunchy. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain very well and pat dry.
- Mix broccoli with apple and celery in a large bowl. Toss through the sauce and sprinkle with seeds. Serve immediately.
Tip
- Toast sunflower seeds in a dry pan, without any oil, over a medium heat until golden brown. Take care as they burn easily.
