CARROT AND BROCCOLI SALAD

This salad combines two of my favourite everyday ingredients.  Give this a try you won't be disappointed!

300g broccoli, cut into small florets

4 carrots, peeled & very finely sliced lengthways into thin ribbons (use a veg peeler to do this)

2½ Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp mustard seeds

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp ground cumin

juice 1 lemon

handful fresh coriander, basil or parsley leaves, chopped

sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

Steam or blanch the broccoli for 2 mins or until just tender. Remove from the heat, transfer to  a large bowl and add the carrots. Heat the oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds, garam masala and cumin and fry gently until the mustard seeds start to pop. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and fresh coriander. Season to taste. Pour the dressing over the veg and serve while the broccoli is still warm, or cold.
