Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Broccoli heads
  • 1 small Shallot
  • 3-4 baby Broccoli leaves or other *garden greens
  • 1/4 cup chopped Cranberries
  • 1 tbsp dried Goji Berries
  • 1/2 cup chopped Parsley
  • 2 small Fennel Fronds
  • 1 Tbsp Slivered Almonds
  • 1 small Lemon
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Yoghurt
  • 2 Tbsp Water
  • Salt flakes to season
  • Fennel flowers and baby nasturtium leaves to garnish

Method
 

  1. Rinse your Broccoli and chop it into small pieces. Chop the dried end of the stem (compost) and then finely dice up the stem. Add to a large serving bowl.
  2. Drizzle on the olive oil and squeeze 1/4 of the lemon over the Broccoli. Toss to coat.
  3. Finely slice your shallot (mandoline makes this easy!) add this on top of the Broccoli.
  4. Slice up the baby leaves and parsley and add to the salad bowl. Squeeze over another 1/4 slice of lemon juice.
  5. Sprinkle over the chopped Cranberries, Goji berries and slivered Almonds.
  6. Scatter small pieces of the fennel fronds, fennel flowers, and baby nasturtiums to garnish.
  7. Mix up the dressing in a bowl by mashing the avocado, adding 1 tsp lemon juice, minced or finely chopped garlic, finely grate in the rind of 1/2 lemon, water, coconut yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Taste and season as desired.
  8. Drizzle over the salad and sprinkle the chilli flakes on top along with a pinch of sea salt flakes.

Notes

* baby greens can be spinach, young Broccoli or Cauliflower leaves, or similar.
Feel free to adjust to similar items you have available. All my recipes I like to incorporate what I have in my garden at the time so it is nice to be a little flexible.
