Author Notes
Whenever I go to Italian Restaurants with my colleagues, my favorite salad is Broccoli with pepper powder and pesto sauce. The aroma of pesto (crushed garlic and basil leaves) together with crunchiness of broccoli will definitely take you to heaven. My family members are not great fan of European foods. So I tried this broccoli in Indianised version and it came out very well. Here goes the recipe.
