Following on the heel of this cauliflower rice recipe, I would love to this share this broccoli recipe that involves processing a whole head of broccoli including the stalk into tiny couscous like consistency. Broccoli is an amazing vegetable and quite versatile when you choose to get adventurous with. The tiny little buds on the floret have a seed/grain like texture that makes it ideal to form the base of a nourishing salad without actually using seed or grains. I have made a raw broccoli salad that often graces my buddha bowls or falafel plates but I have also added some quinoa for added texture. Why? Because I always have a box of cooked quinoa in the fridge that begs to be used every other day. You could skip adding the quinoa altogether or add another element instead. I love recipes like these where the stalk of the broccoli really shines. It probably is my most favourite part of the vegetable and I am constantly experimenting with new ways to cook or prep with it. The freshness of this salad is elevated with all the beautiful green herbs and pops of ruby red sweet pomegranate seeds. It travels well and is a definite keeper.
