BROCCOLI STALK SLAW WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Using up the stalks of broccoli makes for a delicious salad.  They are crunchy, nutritious and it gives you a great feeling of satisfaction that you are not wasting any part of the veggies.

Serves 4

Ingredients

3 stalks of broccoli (reserve florets for another dish), peel away tough outer sides and discard

2 stalks celery, peeled finely julienned

1 granny smith apple, cored, finely julienned

2 spring onions, finely julienned

50g fresh coriander

30g peanuts, toasted and lightly crushed 

Dressing

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp natural yoghurt

1 tsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp peanut butter

Pinch salt

Method

Prepare all the vegetables by cutting into thin julienne (match stick size) and combining in a medium sized bowl.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, lemon juice, peanut butter and salt.  If too thick add 1 tablespoon water and mix well to combine.

Toss the salad together with the dressing and serve at once.
