This fresh, flavoured salad is as healthy as it is colourful.Broccoli is a vegetable packed with nutrients, and the fruit makes a great contrast in flavours. Protein comes from the nuts.

If you have time, toast the nuts in a hot oven (200°C or 180°C fan) for five minutes before chopping. Cool before adding to the salad.

Method:

Prepare the broccoli by cutting the floret ends into 2cm pieces and the stems into 1cm pieces.
