GREEK-STYLE WARM BROCCOLI SALAD WITH LEMON, OLIVE OIL, HERBS AND PINE NUTS
HELPFUL TIP:
Roast raw pine nuts on a tray in a 350℉ (180℃) oven for about 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. They can also be toasted on top of the stove in a heavy skillet, stirring often until they turn golden. Keep a close eye on the pine nuts as they can very quickly move from roasted to burned.
