Broccoli Greek Salad

Serves 6-8 Prep Time 10 minutes   Rated:

A quick and easy lunch for many peeps is sometimes handy on a weekend. Cue the Ciabatta Loaf, and you are in business with this one. No Thermomix required. Unless you really want to use it for the dressing, but a balloon whisk is just as good for this quickie.

I was recently sent an amazing bottle of EVOO from Greece by Sydney based company The Grecian Purveyor The olive oil was from family owned and operated company Ladi Biosas a highly awarded EVOO producer with amazing oil and I must say, stunning packaging! A marketers dream! The EVOO sent to me was a first harvest, which means it was from the first press, also single origin, so just the one varietal. Fresh and grassy, peppery but fruity, it truly did make this salad a little special. A supermarket EVOO will not do the trick. I have always said, buy the best EVOO you can afford and save it for salads or drizzling on already cooked foods.

Anyhoo, I digress. I chose broccoli rather than another type of green as it is robust and can have dressing on it for days without losing crunch. Broccolini would also be perfect and as it has a milder taste, may suit younger palates more.

Broccoli is full of compounds like sulforaphane, which is largely responsible for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It may also support heart health and blood sugar control and is considered to help fight cancer. So all that stuff your mum told you growing up about eating your broccoli is completely accurate. It is good for you. And it tastes great when drizzled generously with the best EVOO around.
