Raw Broccoli...A good substitute if you run out of Death Caps and Destroying Angels when assembling a salad for a Borgia family reunion.

Trotsky ~ Broccoli salad is delicious. I usually make the one with bacon, raisins, sunflower seeds, red onion etc., aka the fat version! |

It sounds as if it would be too bitter/crunchy. Might just blanch the broccoli and use try that. Have some vegetarian friends coming to tea next Friday and am looking for recipes. |

I very occasionally - long occasionallys - make radish salad. Slice lots very thin and make a vinaigrette of your choice. I haven't figured out how to thinly slice radishes fast. It is very good. |

Broccoli is not bitter Sooty. I often make broccoli salad and also include it in a vegetable plate with dip. |

Raw broccoli is a wonderful choice if you are raising rabbits. |

A solution for you, Trotsky, -- cook it and cool it! I think our animal friends are much better at choosing what is good for them than humans are. :) |

I like broccoli raw in salads but I'm not happy when I have a restaurant meal and it's served with rock hard barely dipped in hot water broccoli. I find that kale with a dressing becomes more palatable when allowed to sit for 20 minutes or so. Perhaps broccoli is the same? |

This the one I make too. You may find the sugar and raisins cut the bitterness. And you like bacon. I soak the raisins for 3- 5 minutes in very hot water. Not sure if I need to; I was taught to do this to get the grit off them. |
