Asian Broccoli Salad with Maple Nut Butter

Ingredients

For the butter:

1 Tbs of pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
3 Tbs of olive oil
1/2 cup of peanuts
1 Tbs of hot water
1 Tbs of soy sauce

For the salad:

1 head of broccoli
3/4 cup of peanuts
3/4 cup edamame beans
Sprinkle of black sesame seeds to garnish

Method

To make butter:

Gently pan-fry the peanuts until golden brown.

Add to a food processor with olive oil, maple syrup, hot water and soy sauce and blitz until smooth.

Salad:

Cut the broccoli into small florets and steam until tender.

Steam the edamame beans by boiling an inch of water in a pan and placing them in a steaming basket. Cover the pot with a lid and cook until tender.

Drain the steamed edamame beans and add to a salad bowl and dress with the nut butter.

Toast some extra peanuts and sprinkle them over your greens along with some black sesame seeds.
