Ingredients

3 cups broccoli florets
20 ml olive oil
Robertsons Atlantic sea salt, to season
1 ml Robertsons Black Pepper, to taste
100 ml Knorr Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
150 g strong blue cheese
30 g toasted almond flakes

Cooking Method

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.
Add the broccoli and cook for two minutes, then put the broccoli florets straight into ice water.
Once cooled completely, strain them and pat dry.
Toss the broccoli in the olive oil, Robertsons Atlantic Sea Salt and Robertsons Black Pepper.
Heat a griddle pan on high. When it starts to smoke, add the broccoli and cook on all sides until slightly charred.
Make the dressing by blending the Knorr Blue Cheese Salad Dressing and blue cheese together until smooth.
Serve the broccoli on a platter. Spoon over the dressing and top with the almonds.
