Broccoli and KOJA Sesame & Almond Salad

Broccoli is one of the healthiest things you can eat. It's a great source of vitamin C (break up with vitamin C tablets!), vitamin K, folate and potassium. It's also alkalising and high in fibre.

If you're haunted by a childhood of being forced to eat your broccoli before you could leave the table (we've all been there), we've got the perfect solution to help you forgive the broccoli! This delicious recipe features a peanut butter dressing.. who doesn't love that!?
