Ingredients

  • approx. 300 g broccoli
  • 40 g parmesan cheese
  • 40 g pecans
  • 25 g pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash the broccoli and cut the florets into small pieces (you can reduce a bit further the size of the veggies after blanching them). Carefully add the florets into a pot of boiling water and cook them for no more than 2-3 minutes, depending on the size of your veggies.
  • In the meantime, prepare a bowl of ice-cold water. When the florets are ready, move them into the cold water and leave them in this bowl for a few minutes.
  • Drain well the florets, adjust their size if necessary and mix them with the other ingredients. You can use raw or toasted nuts/seeds: the second option adds more flavour to the salad. Try to toast the mix of nuts and seeds in a pan with 1 tsp of olive oil and 1/2 tsp of garam masala.
  • Taste the salad before serving: adjust the amount of oil and spices if necessary.

Notes

  • This recipe calls just for the florets - keep the stems of your broccoli and try to use them in other preparations (a soup, a vegetable broth, etc).
  • The number of servings of this salad is strictly related to how you serve it.
  • Check the introduction for notes about variations, salad dressings, etc.
