Personally, I like it much more than stewed or cooked broccoli.

Treat yourself with this salad for breakfast, dinner or even as a lunch garnish. It consists of ingredients, that every fan of healthy lifestyle usually has at home - cottage cheese is a perfect protein bomb, tuna is, along with protein, also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, and the rest is just vegetables and crunchy cashew nuts, offering a bit of healthy fats.
