How to Make Broccoli Salad (Instructions)

  • Fill a medium-sized pot with 1 litre of water and include the tri-colour quinoa. Place the steamer ontop and fill with the broccoli florets and stalks. Bring to simmer and cook for approximately 18 minutes. Once cooked, remove the pot from the stove, strain the quinoa and allow to cool.
  • While the quinoa and broccoli is cooking, chop the spring onions, red cabbage, pit and cube the avocado and toast the sunflower seeds.
  • Toss all the salad ingredients into a bowl, drizzle the salad dressing and serve immediately. Bon Appétit! :)

How To Make The Peanut & Miso Salad Dressing (Instructions)

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the orange juice, the miso paste, peanut butter and extra virgin olive oil until well combined.

Notes

* BROCCOLI TIP - Cut the broccoli from the stem downwards to avoid the broccoli buds blanketing your bench. 
* STEAMER - If you don't have a pot with a strainer, use a stainless steel sieve.
