Bbq Broccoli Salad

Oct 26, 2017 2:12 AM

Recently I have discovered liquid smoke. It’s a great ingredient if you like smoke smell and flavor. And I think most of us do like that smell of barbeque!

I and my family certainly do! With liquid smoke, you can have BBQ inside your house using your oven. I made this very simple BBQ broccoli salad, but trust me it tastes so good! Especially if you are a fan of broccoli, you must try this!

Method

Steam broccoli for 5 minutes first and then place spread on a baking tray. Using a brush cover broccoli with liquid smoke, sprinkle with some salt, and put it under the grill for another 5 minutes.
Slice apple and onion finely into semicircles.
Toast pumpkin seeds and almond flakes in a pan for a couple of minutes.
Place lettuce, leaves, onions, and apples into a bowl and pour all the dressing, mix it up gently.
Now it’s time to plate! Place mixed salad first, put that lovely smoky broccoli on top, and sprinkle everything with toasted seeds and almonds flakes.
