SPICY BROCCOLI SALAD
I like my broccoli to have some color and crunch in them. I used to cook them for 30-40 seconds in the microwave with some salt. In this recipe, I have used mild spices and zinged up the salad just a little bit. I have baked them for a few minutes, so the broccoli still retain their color and crunch. Again, this is just another idea of spicing up the salad. Any amount of spices can be added here according to individual taste. Even any regular salad dressings can also be added after baking them. Each one of you is sure to have some variations like this one. Any suggestions to make these salads yummier will be most welcome. Here goes the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
Broccoli, 2 large heads.
Chili flakes, 1 teaspoon.
Any type of seasoning mixture, 1 teaspoon.
Garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon (optional).
Salt as per taste.
Dried parsley flakes, ½ teaspoon.

PREPARATION:
Break the broccoli into large florets and wash them well. Pat them dry with a paper towel and put them into a bowl. Mix chili flakes, seasoning mixture, garlic powder, dried parsley leaves, and salt together. Add this mixture on top of the broccoli and mix everything well. Grease a baking sheet with any cooking spray and arrange the florets on the sheet leaving sufficient space between each of them. Bake them at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes and remove them for the oven. Serve them hot or cold. This salad tastes yummy both ways.
