  • black pepper to taste

Method

Salad and salad dressing: 

  1. Salad: Place broccoli in a shallow dish and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes until just cooked, but still crunchy. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well.
  2. Mix all the salad ingredients, except the sesame seeds, in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Salad dressing: Mix all the ingredients together and season with pepper.
  4. Toss some of the salad dressing into the salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with the rest of the salad dressing as a healthy side dish.

 

 

Tips

  1. Add cooked chicken or meat to the salad for a light meal. Chickpeas will also be delicious.
  2. To toast sesame seeds, place in a dry pan over a medium heat. Toast until golden brown, tossing the pan once or twice to mix through. Take care not to burn them.
  3. Substitute sesame seeds with sunflower or pumpkin seeds, if preferred. Cashews nuts or dried cranberries will also be delicious.
