Salad with broccoli, bell pepper and apple

Wash the vegetables. Divide broccoli into florets. You can take one whole bell pepper or half of different peppers, for example, red and yellow.

If the broccoli florets are a bit large, they need to be cut to approximately the same size.

Now the main thing is to boil the broccoli correctly. Place a pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, and add salt. When the water is boiling, add the florets. At this moment, the water temperature decreases, and the liquid stops boiling. As soon as the water boils again, from this moment, the cabbage should be boiled for no more than two minutes. Then, immediately use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl of very cold water, preferably ice water. If you follow this technology, at the moment of sharp cooling, the cabbage stops cooking, it remains bright green, not overcooked, and retains all its beneficial properties.

Place the broccoli on a plate to dry.

Cut the bell pepper into medium strips.

Cut the apple into strips as well, just like the pepper. The skin of the apple can be peeled or left on, it’s up to your preference. To prevent the apple from browning, it should be quickly spritzed with lemon juice and mixed.

It’s better to dress this vitamin salad with a light dressing. This can simply be olive oil. You can also enhance the dressing with your favorite spices, soy sauce, or other products – as desired.

Mix the dressing well in a bowl and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Place the prepared vegetables in a large bowl.

Add the dressing to the vegetables and gently mix the salad. Try to maintain the shape of the cuts. The salad already looks appetizing, and you will want to eat it quickly.

Serve the salad on a plate and present it at the table.
