The stalks of broccoli make a delicious salad — they are crunchy and nutritious and, perhaps best of all, you are not wasting any part of the vegetable.

Serves 4

Ingredients
3 stalks of broccoli (reserve florets for another dish), peel away tough outer sides and discard
2 stalks celery, peeled finely julienned
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, finely julienned
2 spring onions, finely julienned
50g fresh coriander
30g peanuts, toasted and lightly crushed

Dressing
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp peanut butter
pinch salt

Method
Prepare all the vegetables by cutting into thin julienne (matchstick size) and combining in a medium-sized bowl.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, lemon juice, peanut butter and salt. If too thick, add a tablespoon of water and mix well to combine.

Toss together and serve at once.
