A wonderful way to extract all the vitamins from broccoli is to eat it raw.

My refreshing summer salad combines cut-up broccoli, roasted peanuts, and an Oriental-style dressing for a delicious, crunchy treat.

Raw Broccoli Salad With Roasted Peanuts

• One head of broccoli
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• juice from 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts

1. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces.
2. Chop up the peanuts.
3. Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the flavors to be absorbed.
