Notes

1. Let flavours meld - This is one of those salads that needs time for the flavours to meld and also for the dressing to soften the broccoli a bit. Raw broccoli is actually very crunchy and some people aren't a fan of that. But the dressing tenderises it a bit so it's tender crisp.

If you aren't a fan of raw broccoli in any form, then I suggest steaming the broccoli. Steaming is better than boiling because the florets get waterlogged.

2. Mayonnaise - I recommendHellman's or S&W (I'm in Australia). Cheaper brands are too sour or too sweet. I don't use mayo much, so when I do I want the good stuff! (PS I love my Japanese Kewpie mayo, but it's not the best for this dish, flavour is too smooth 🙂 )

3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 8 servings.
