Broccoli Salad with Toasted Almonds salad recipe is simple and simply delicious but the real bonus here is the powerful healing ingredients throughout.
Broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables available and the good news is that it is reasonably priced in supermarkets. This versatile veggie is a great source of fiber which acts like a broom sweeping out toxins from the body. Broccoli is also rich in antioxidants such as vitamin A and is good for fighting all types of cancers including prostate, breast and ovarian cancers.
Most of the vitamins will be found in the florets whereas the broccoli stem is high in disease fighting phytochemicals – so don’t throw those stems in the trash! For the best nutritive benefit, lightly steam broccoli as opposed to roasting or pan frying.
