Broccoli & orange salad
I hate Broccoli. I’m one of those 90’s American sitcom kids who had to be tricked into eating their greens, specially Broccoli. Unfortunately, nobody tricks me anymore and I do respect the vegetable for its nutritional content. This salad is the only way I manage to ingest broccoli without it giving me the heebie-jeebies!
Ingredients:

- 5g Balsamic Vinegar
- 1g Dijon Mustard

Method:
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and blanch to cook out.

- Make the dressing: Mix the olive oil, balsamic, mustard, salt & pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine all the veggies and the orange and toss in the salad dressing.
