This garlicky lemon-flavored broccoli bowl is a hearty dish that can be enjoyed warm or cold. Try it with a little side of hot sauce. If using untoasted almonds, if you’d like, you can soak them overnight in water, then rinse well.
Chef Tip: You can give the sauce an ethnic kick by adding in a little Thai or curry paste when blending or your favorite raw sauce.
Cooked Option: Steam vegetables gently or serve them with cooked quinoa.
