This is quickly going to become a foodie blog if I'm not careful: you have to try this Raw Broccoli Salad that I made tonight. I generally don't like raw broccoli; Jesse LOVES it. Raw broccoli is serious business for Jesse. I can't stress this enough. This is what typically happens when I cook broccoli:
Me: How do you like the broccoli, Jess?
Jesse: Meh. Its cooked.
Jesse does like Alton Brown's Oven Roasted Broccoli but that's the only exception to the raw broccoli rule. So I found and had to try the Raw Broccoli Salad recipe which comes third hand from a raw food restaurant. I used baby broccoli from the CSA and chopped it super small before soaking it in a mixture of cold pressed olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. The original recipe included coriander and cumin which I omitted this time. At the end, I mixed in a couple of tablespoons of delicious pink peppercorn goat cheese from a semi-local farm, Lively Run Goat Dairy. We both really liked it; the recipe gets added to the permanent rotation.
