Here is a recipe for a brilliant raw broccoli salad tossed with smoked salmon, black olives, toasted seeds and a creamy avocado dressing. The trick is to add plenty of garlic and lemon for an incredible flavour kick.
This delicious dish truly has an incredible texture from the crunchy broccoli, and can be served without salmon if you are vegetarian or vegan. Fantastic on its own, or makes a wonderful side. Enjoy!
