Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for 3-5 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, chopped red chillies, toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, shredded mint, and chopped dates.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
