A few tips:
- I love to cut my vegetables into different sizes and shapes. This makes the salad more interesting.
- I always use the broccoli stems as well. They are very nutritious, crunchy and perfect to add to a salad. Just make sure that you trim them well, making sure that the outer dry and hard parts are removed.
- I fried the asparagus and zucchini but kept the broccoli raw. If you prefer your broccoli fried then that’s also delicious and go ahead and add it to the pan.
- When frying the vegetables make sure to use a hot pan, let them fry until they start to soften and get golden brown, but don’t fry them for too long. You don’t want them to be fully cooked though, they should still hold some crunch.
- I wanted to make this salad really fresh and clean. Therefore I only used lemon juice as “dressing” but you can of course add any dressing you prefer.
