Broccoli and asparagus braai salad with creamy dressing
South African 20 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Chop the broccoli into small florets. Place in a steaming basket set over a pot of simmering water. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender. Set aside.
- Trim the asparagus and spring onion ends. Toss them in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-hot coals, or in a griddle pan for approx. 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and just tender. Allow to cool slightly, then quarter the spring onions lengthways.
- In a dry pan over a medium heat, fry the beef bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then chop into small pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and black pepper.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, asparagus and spring onion. Toast the sunflower seeds in a small pan over a medium heat. Scatter the chopped bacon, sultanas and toasted sunflower seeds over the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious braai side.
