Tenderstem® broccoli braai salad

Easy
5 minutes
15 minutes

Did you know that every inch of Tenderstem®️ broccoli is edible? Char over hot coals to make a braai salad that rivals your mains. Complete the salad with cooked pasta, juicy tomatoes, creamy bocconcini and a zingy pesto to bring everything together. If all braai salads looked this good, we wouldn't even bother with the steaks and chops.
