Broccoli is one of our favorite vegetables not only for its taste, but for the wonderful nutrition it provides. Broccoli contains high levels of various carotenoids (carotenoids are a type of antioxidant – compounds found in vegetables that prevent or reduce free radical damage to cells that contribute to disease formation) that are being associated with cancer prevention. To obtain the most benefit from the broccoli you eat, you must eat it raw. Cooking destroys some of the antioxidant benefits not only in broccoli, but in all vegetables and fruits. This is a wonderfully refreshing salad, referred to as Winter Broccoli Salad because it is the time of year when Clementine’s are most available to us here in the South East, US. Preparation time 15 minutes. Serves 4-6 as side dish. Ingredients for Winter Broccoli Salad: 2 medium size broccoli crowns
Preparation directions:
1. Chop the broccoli into small floweret’s (varying the fineness or coarseness of the broccoli will lend variety to the salad each time you make it). Place flowerets into a large bowl. 2. Next, peel the Clementine and slice into ½ inch slices. Separate the slices into segments. Place segments in bowl with broccoli. 3. Sprinkle onion and walnuts over the broccoli and Clementine segments. 4. Toss with approximately ½ cup Creamy Orange Cilantro dressing. 5. Chill for at least ½ hour before serving.
