One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Lock in the green

Blanch broccoli in salted boiling water for 60 seconds, then transfer straight to iced water. Drain and dry extremely well.

Make the crunch count

Cook bacon until crisp. Toast seeds in the same dry pan for 2 minutes, then cool both.

Sharpen the dressing

Whisk mayonnaise, yoghurt, lemon and mustard. Season with black pepper and enough salt to make the lemon taste brighter.

Coat, do not swamp

Toss broccoli, spring onion and parsley with two-thirds of the dressing. Fold through bacon, seeds and avocado.

Serve with texture

Spoon the remaining dressing over the top and reserve a little bacon and seed crunch for the final scatter.
