Method
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for around 3-4 minutes until tender. Toast your seeds (if not already toasted) in a dry frying pan for a few minutes until they look golden and smell toasty.
Step 2
Put the blanched broccoli, salad leaves and sundried tomatoes onto a board and chop well into bite-sized chunks.
Step 3
Tip the** chopped mixture** into a mixing bowl. Add the drained butter beans and pesto and mix well to combine. Toss through half of the seeds. Check for seasoning, adding more pesto too, if you like.
Step 4
Tumble the salad onto a serving platter, top with the remaining seeds and tuck in.
