Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic fresh
- 1/2 cup bell peppers any colour
- 1/2 cup cucumber slices chopped
- 1/2 cup onions chopped
- 3/4 cup blueberries fresh
- 2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
- 2 tsp flaxseeds
- 3-4 tbsps greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp pepper powder
- 1 tsp chaat powder optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Heat a pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and add the broccoli florets and garlic together.
- Cover it with a lid and cook for 5 minutes in medium flame. Toss and turn in between so it doesn't start sticking to the bottom but. Once it is half cooked allow it to roast till starts turning light brown.
- Once cooked keep aside to cool.
- Now wash and chop the rest of the ingredients
- Take a bowl and add the chopped cucumber, bell pepper, onions and fresh blueberries.
- Add the roasted broccoli and garlic to the bowl. Give it a nice mix.
- Next add the dried fenugreek leaves and flaxseeds. Mix well.
- Now add the greek yoghurt and mix well.
- Finally sprinkle the pepper powder and chaat powder and mix again.
- Serve as it is or with pappad or with main course.
Notes
- Use broccoli stems as well because they are equally nutritious. Just peel the rough outer layer.
- You can sprinkle a little water while cooking broccoli and garlic to avoid sticking in the bottom.
- I used ground flaxseed powder because I had a freshly ground batch, but you can use whole flaxseeds too.
- You can add nuts and raisins to this salad to make it more nutritious and tasty.
- You can add chicken or bacon slices to make the salad more interesting.
