Asian broccoli salad

Side Serves 4 40 min
The key to this quick and easy way with broccoli is not to oversteam it – it should retain a little crunch. You could also add a little finely minced garlic or ginger for more of a kick. Goes well with chicken or fish.

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
