Confession: I’m a lifelong green salad avoider, and am generally opposed to raw broccoli, too (don’t get me started on raw cauliflower). But this moreish, substantial salad, inspired by a broccoli dish at Dishoom, will have even the most hardened salad sceptic converted – it’s packed with colour, flavour and texture, and, unusually, tastes just as good the next day in a lunchbox. As you’ll see, I avoid the raw broccoli issue by blanching it before adding the dressing. Serve with hot flatbreads and hummus for a filling, colourful dinner.
