Broccoli Salad

I was having broccoli salad as lunch few days back in a cafe and it was super duper tasty. Therefore, I decided to give it a try on making this salad back home after googling about the recipe for the salad. It was pretty simple. The original recipe didn't blanch the broccoli and it was served raw. The taste of raw vegetables definitely puts me off. Therefore, I decided to blanch the vegetables for a few minutes to 'tenderized' them. It was indeed a keeper salad recipe. Hubby loved them too. He ate most of the salad that I made for tonight after his regular badminton session with his friends. THUMBS UP from him on the salad.. :)
