Most of the time broccoli is cooked or steamed. I've seldom been offered this extremely nutritious vegetable as a salad. This one is brimming with goodness!

Ingredients:

1 lb firm fresh broccoli, broken into small florets

1/2 lb cleaned fresh, sliced button mushroom

1 small onion, cleaned and diced (about 4 oz/120 g)

3 hardboiled egg, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup stuffed green olive, halved

4 ounces salted cashews or 4 ounces almonds

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 -2 garlic clove, chopped

salt & freshly ground black pepper

1 cup mayonnaise, into which you whip

2 tablespoons grainy mustard, of your taste

Directions:

1. Combine all the salad ingredients.
2. Mix the mayonnaise and mustard.
3. In a salad bowl, blend the dressing gently with the salad ingredients.
4. Taste for seasoning - this is a question of personal taste.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
