Instructions
1 Trim broccoli and cut in florets. If using broccolini, cut each stem in 3. If you don’t want to use broccoli raw, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute or until vegetables are bright green and tender but still crispy. Tip into a colander and run under cold water to cool. Drain well.
2 In a large salad bowl toss broccoli, barley, sprouts, orange segments, nuts and seeds.
3 To make dressing, whisk together orange zest and orange juice, garlic, oil, vinegar and soy sauce. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently. Adjust seasonings as required.
*To cook pearl barley, cover barley with cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender.
Variations
