For the dressing

  • 2-3 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper or red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp basil leaves fresh or dried
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Take the medium sized broccoli florets and wash it thoroughly. Cut them into bite size pieces.
  • In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for dressing and keep aside.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl combine chopped apple, broccoli, onions and walnuts. Now add the dressing and stir well. The salad is ready!

Notes

  1. The best way to have broccoli is raw. Boiling or sautéing would hamper it's crunchiness.
  2. Another way to eat broccoli is by baking it in an oven with slight oil for 10 minutes. Sprinkle salt and enjoy. This way the crunchiness of broccoli is intact.
The nutritional value is for 1 serving. Please keep in mind that the nutrition value is a rough estimate and can vary based on the product used.
