Swede Raw Broccolini and Roast Chicken Salad

"Cooked broccolini or raw ?… It can be both, so you can have either raw in a salad like this broccoli salad where broccoli can be replaced by broccolini but it can also be cooked in various ways like steamed, boiled for literally 1 minte or 2, sauteed, roasted and even grilled. I do use the stalks for pies sometimes as they can take a little bit of cooking whereas florets cannot without melting away ?? not really worth cooking it for more than 2-3 min whichever way, it is too delicate and if you take that crunchiness away is a guaranteed spoiled broccolini."

NotesYuo can feel free to replace the vegetables with your favouritte ones, to me all veggies are super cool and I like them all. I do like to eat seasonal as I use a company that provides locally produced organic produce and these veggies are widely available in October - November months.
