Tips:

  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets: This will help the broccoli cook evenly and will make it easier to eat.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli in boiling water for a few minutes will help to preserve its鮮艷的綠色color and crisp texture.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing for this salad is made with a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. You can adjust the proportions of these ingredients to suit your taste.
  • Add some crunch: The addition of sliced almonds or chopped walnuts adds a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

This broccoli mandarin orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
