Broccoli and almond salad
<p>The broccoli and almonds in this salad are full of easily absorbable magnesium and calcium, and paired with a creamy tahini salad dressing, it’s a bonebuilding and calming treat! The radishes add colour and crunch. You can also add a thinly sliced red capsicum (bell pepper), for a bit of extra colour and nutrition.</p>
