I typically buy broccoli already chopped up in a bag for convenience. But, buying some at a farmers’ market and chopping it up at home always tastes better. And, raw broccoli is significantly more nutritious than cooked broccoli, according to EatingWell.
So, broccoli lovers, here is another broccoli recipe to try and fall for! The added craisins and chopped pecans add a depth of flavor that will have you making this recipe time and time again. And, raw broccoli is so filling that you will be easily satisfied with this dish.
