Now Spring is well and truly here, we we can forget about soups and hot dishes and bring back the salads! For some new season inspiration, here is my tasty Broccoli Salad – if prepared in a Thermomix, it takes only seconds to make!
Ingredients:
1 carrot, peeled
1/2 a lemon
2 green apples
1 large head of broccoli
1/2 a red onion
3 tbsp of natural yoghurt
salt and pepper to taste
optional herbs ie coriander, mint, parsely
If you don’t own a Thermomix, this salad is still quick and easy to make and requires no cooking! Simply finely chop the carrot, apples, broccoli, and onion (and herbs if using) and mix together in a bowl. To finish stir in the natural yogurt, squeezed lemon juice then add salt and pepper to taste!
Lemon adds vitamin C, apples provide fibre including pectin, and the broccoli is a fantastic source of iron, protein, zinc as well as B1 and B6, Vitamin E and magnesium.
Try this Broccoli salad, its simple and quick to make, delicious and your body will benefit from all the nutrients!
