Crisp broccoli salad
(1)
2 hours 15 min
I've never been a big fan of broccoli, until I discovered it in recipes where it's just blanched and kept very crisp. In this salad, crunchy broccoli is mixed with grapes and apple. It's fresh, delicious and perfect for a picnic because this salad is very portable.

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add broccoli and blanch for 2 minutes; drain and let cool. (You can add the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process completely.)
In a large bowl combine pine nuts, raisins, grapes and diced apples.
Add cooled broccoli and mayonnaise. Season with pepper and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and serve chilled.
