Chef’s Tips

• Cut the florets small so every forkful holds a bit of everything.
• Add the bacon and seeds at the last moment, or they go soft in the dressing.
• It improves after 30 minutes chilled as the dressing softens the broccoli.

Pairing Suggestions

• Barbecued ribs
• Grilled chicken
• A burger
