Most people eat broccoli cooked, baked or stir fried, but it\u2019s sometimes forgotten that broccoli is actually delicious<\/strong> in its raw state! In this broccoli salad recipe, the broccoli is dressed with an lemon and olive oil marinade, which will tenderise the broccoli slightly and keep it fresh and crunchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recipe is pretty straight forward. Break the broccoli head into to smaller florets. And d<\/strong>on\u2019t forget the stem! <\/strong>The broccoli stem is often thrown away but it\u2019s fully edible and it tastes delicious! Simply slice the stem finely and mix it with the broccoli florets . Make the dressing and massage it into the broccoli. The most pivotal<\/strong> part of making this salad is to massage the dressing<\/strong> well into the broccoli, so each floret is covered with the marinade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leave it to marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes<\/strong> so the broccoli has time to soften. Ideally is to leave it for 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This salad will stay fresh for at least 3 days <\/strong>when kept in an airtight container. This broccoli salad is great for meal prep and is a great side salad to fish or a bolognese, or you can make it a stand alone dish by adding a handful of cooked grains, beans and an avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to make Raw Broccoli Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
