A pleasant play of textures and flavors.

The broccoli in this salad is eaten raw and crunchy, when it is roughly chopped.
Together with lightly brewed snow peas and ripe avocado, a pleasant interplay of textures and flavors is obtained.
In winter you can find small, fresh and young heads of broccoli, which are delicious to eat just like that.
If you still don't like raw broccoli, you can stew it for about 10 minutes in a pot with plenty of bubbling water over a high flame.
