Recipes: Raw Broccoli Salad

God damn I love broccoli. So strange, as I hated it as a child. Being told I was eating miniature trees just never cut it with me. Now I happily munch on the stuff. So when I saw this recipe on Stone Soup - and with a salad to be made for a dear friend for lunch together this weekend - my heart sang with praise be to the vegetable fairies. And the fact that the salad only takes 5 minutes to make. All the more time to skype Phuong with!

But funnily on Masterchef this week they did the WA mining challenge and Dani was told off for putting out a barely cooked broccoli salad and I thought 'poor old masterchef judges clearly don't get StoneSoup's newsletters and know that raw broccoli is so hot right now'....; August 4, 2011 at 8:04 PM
