Broccoli is an amazing health food – not only is it a great source of fiber and protein, but it’s also packed with loads of other important nutrients…
This includes the likes of vitamins A, C, E, K, and B. As well as minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, selenium and magnesium. It’s also low in calories and high in good-for-you antioxidants. No wonder it’s considered a superfood.
And although broccoli has an easily distinguishable taste, it’s pleasant rather than overpowering the way that sprouts are. And you can change up the taste of it with whatever ingredients you want to put with it.
In this article, we’re going to direct you to some of our favorite Paleo broccoli salad recipes that you can enjoy time and time again, knowing that you’re getting plenty of nutritional value, as well as great taste, whilst never veering from your Paleo regime.
Here’s our first one – we’re going to kick things off with a classic.
